I have added support for Ollama to my chat-cli tool (formerly named cli-chatgpt, see previous posts). Ollama is a very easy way to run llama2 locally; it runs a local HTTP server and this will be used.

Depending on whether an OpenAI key or Ollama are available, the models will be made available and you can see this in cgt -h. (Using cgt as a command here is based on my recommendation of using an alias in your shell.)

When you’re offline, OpenAI is deemed unavailable, thus–if it is installed and active–Ollama/llama2 will be used automatically. While it currently doesn’t switch between models during a conversation (because of your online state), you can simply exit and re-continue the conversation with another model using cgt -l.

Both models show their responses in a streaming way.
