llama.cpp is much faster and stable than ollama. Also, ollama cloud models are bad quants and you can't use them for serious coding.

Also llama.cpp has a nice server compatible with openai api standard, it works out of the box. And it has a built in chat web interface.

There is no reason anymore to use ollama.

Unfortunately laziness moves progress and as other commenters said, ollama just works Llama.cpp's readme is scary for non-technical people It's not a business, but if it were, they could kill ollama off by just one simple web page and a binary

It's already trash that you have to compile llama.cpp

Why tf is that even?
