      Ollama provides a REST API for running and managing large language models
      locally. The API supports text generation, chat completions, embeddings,
      model management, and streaming responses. It serves as the primary
      interface for interacting with models running on the Ollama inference
      engine at localhost:11434.

      Ollama Cloud provides cloud-hosted inference for large language models,
      giving access to larger models and faster responses without requiring a
      powerful local GPU. Cloud models are accessed through the same API
      interface as local models, with requests encrypted in transit and no
      storage of prompts or outputs.
