About

I was a founding maintainer of Ollama, the first evangelist at Datadog, and a former organizer of DevOps Days Seattle, DevOps Days Boston, and Serverless Days Boston. I am passionate about gadgets and AI and automation. Some folks don't think that word is appropriate, but it totally fits here. If you meet me in person you will see me light up when I can share with you my latest gadget, tool, or utility. And this is where I get to share that with all of you. You can find more about me at my website (http://technovangelist.com) or on Twitter (http://twitter.com/technovangelist)

Video Description

On 04/25/2024 I did a livestream where I made this video...and here is the final product. It’s a look at one of the most used frontends for Ollama. It's not perfect, but there is a lot to like. Someone clarified something that I missed... It seems that you can specify the model to use in the prompt using the @ sign. This is great. They should highlight that in the docs and make it a bit more discoverable. Here is the chart I mentioned. https://www.technovangelist.com/notes/annotated%20list%20of%20ollama%20web%20and%20desktop%20integrations/ My Links πŸ”— πŸ‘‰πŸ» Subscribe (free): https://www.youtube.com/technovangelist πŸ‘‰πŸ» Join and Support: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCHaF9kM2wn8C3CLRwLkC2GQ/join πŸ‘‰πŸ» Newsletter: https://technovangelist.substack.com/subscribe πŸ‘‰πŸ» Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/technovangelist πŸ‘‰πŸ» Discord: https://discord.gg/uS4gJMCRH2 πŸ‘‰πŸ» Patreon: https://patreon.com/technovangelist πŸ‘‰πŸ» Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/technovangelist/ πŸ‘‰πŸ» Threads: https://www.threads.net/@technovangelist?xmt=AQGzoMzVWwEq8qrkEGV8xEpbZ1FIcTl8Dhx9VpF1bkSBQp4 πŸ‘‰πŸ» LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/technovangelist/ πŸ‘‰πŸ» All Source Code: https://github.com/technovangelist/videoprojects Want to sponsor this channel?
