Requirements

If you want to interact with self-hosted Large Language Models (LLMs) using Ollama or LM Studio, you will need to have the self-hosted API set up and running. You can follow the instructions provided by the self-hosted API provider to get it up and running. Once you have the REST API URL for your self-hosted API, you can use it with this plugin to interact with your models.

Access to other models may require an API key.

Please see instructions to setup with other LLMs providers.

Explore some models at GPT4ALL under the "Model Explorer" section or Ollama's Library.
