Looks like my call [0] for more competitors to Ollama has been answered.

We need more like this as well as llama.app, which also has a native mac app.

Agreed. Just based on this not being Ollama, so I will give it a try.

my thing is kind of an Ollama competitor (surrogate?) too. more for prose/text planning, not so much for coding, at least the harness, but i'm sure someone could set it up to do that: github.com/0gsd/enough
