Overview
The ollama package enables Dart applications to interact with the Ollama API, facilitating integration with local large language models (LLMs). It provides a straightforward interface for sending prompts and receiving responses, ideal for developers building AI-powered features within cross-platform apps. The package supports all major platforms, including Android, iOS, macOS, Windows, and Linux, making it suitable for both mobile and desktop applications. With minimal setup via Flutter pub add, developers can quickly prototype or deploy generative AI functionality using locally hosted models.
