| Their new app is closed source right? |

| ▲ | simonw 7 days ago | parent [-] | | Huh, yeah it looks like the GUI component is closed source. Their GitHub version only has the CLI. | | |
| ▲ | diggan 7 days ago | parent | next [-] | | I think at this point it's fair to say that most of the stuff Ollama does, is closed source. AFAIK, only the CLI is open source, everything else isn't. | | | |
| ▲ | kanestreet 6 days ago | parent | prev [-] | | Yup. They have not even acknowledged the fact that it’s closed, despite a ton of questions. Ppl are downloading it assuming it’s open source only to get a nasty surprise. No mention of it in their blog post announcing the GUI. Plus no new license for it. And no privacy policy. Feels deceptive. |

| I have been using the Ollama GUI on Windows since release and appreciated its simplicity. It recently received an update that puts a large "Turbo" button in the message box that links to a sign-in page. I'm trying Jan now and am really liking it - it feels friendlier than the Ollama GUI. |

| ▲ | numpad0 6 days ago | parent [-] | | I truly don't understand why it's supposed to be the end of the world. They need to monetize eventually, and simultaneously its userbase desireg good inference. It looks a complete win-win to me. Anyone can fork it in case they actually turn evil once it'd happen. I mean, it's not like people enjoy lovely smell of cash burning and bias opinions heavily towards it, or is it like that? |
