Ollama does Windows?!?

@technovangelistAbout
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)

Yup, Ollama is now on Windows. Native. Not just WSL2. And it's working pretty well. It’s a preview release, but this is going to get a lot of folks excited. This video was recorded on GCP with Windows Server 2022. I also tried the steps with Windows 10 Pro on Paperspace and Windows 11 Pro on Azure. Other than the new task bar on Win11 they all looked and performed exactly the same.
