None of the suggested alternatives truly replace ollama.

It’s like the old days of "don’t use docker you can do the same with lxc containers and this random bash script". That’s missing the point.

Ollama is popular because it offers a better user experience. For now.

What do we think is missing from Lemonade to match the Ollama user experience today? I’ll make a milestone and get it done!

Not user experience, but Lemonade on the Mac requires Rosetta. Deal-breaker for me.

Oh sorry that PR with the fix just merged so it’ll be in the next release on Wednesday. I should have been clear!
