Run open-source LLMs locally

Ollama offers better privacy than Hugging Face because it allows you to run language models locally, preventing your data from being sent to external servers. Hugging Face's models are hosted on its servers, which means your data is processed and potentially stored by Hugging Face. Ollama's focus on local execution and data control makes it a more privacy-conscious choice for using language models.
