pardon me but is Ollama a company though? I didn't knew that actually.

And are they VC funded? Are they funded by Y-combinator or anything else..

I just thought it was a project by someone to write something similar to docker but for LLM's and that was its pitch for a really really long time I think

Yup thats exactly what I thought as well. I also found out late and to much surprise that its a VC backed startup: https://www.ycombinator.com/companies/ollama
