Ollama

Research status

This is a researched foundation watch entry. Ollama was not installed or tested for this seed, and no current feature, version, license, model availability, performance, or security claim is made.

Architecture placement

The approved reference configuration names Ollama as one possible local model runtime. That places it in Soma and Equilibrium: the runtime is part of the body, while routing must weigh privacy, quality, latency, cost, and hardware fit.

Potential value

A declared local runtime may support bounded private experiments and workloads with predictable marginal cost. Locality alone does not establish quality, privacy, or safe authority.

What a trial must answer

Fresh research must verify current documentation, license, network defaults, model provenance, storage behavior, and update path. A test should name the exact model, hardware, workload, acceptance criteria, latency method, and fallback policy.

Decision

Watch. A workload-specific, observable trial is required before a stronger status is justified.
