LLM

In this post, we’ll explore two ways to connect your Python application to Ollama: 1. Via HTTP REST API; 2. Via the official Ollama Python library.

Ollama’s GPT-OSS models have recurring issues handling structured output, especially when used with frameworks like LangChain, OpenAI SDK, vllm, and others.

Here’s a side-by-side support comparison of structured output (getting reliable JSON back) across popular LLM providers, plus minimal Python examples

Large Language Models (LLMs) are powerful, but in production we rarely want free-form paragraphs. Instead, we want predictable data: attributes, facts, or structured objects you can feed into an app. That’s LLM Structured Output.

Here I am comparing how much VRAM new version of Ollama allocating for the model vs previous Ollama version. The new version is worse.

Ollama has quickly become one of the most popular tools for running LLMs locally. Its simple CLI, and streamlined model management have made it a go-to option for developers who want to work with AI models outside the cloud. But as with many promising platforms, there are already signs of Enshittification:

Locally hosted Ollama allows to run large language models on your own machine, but using it via command-line isn’t user-friendly. Here are several open-source projects provide ChatGPT-style interfaces that connect to a local Ollama.

Nvidia is about to release NVIDIA DGX Spark - little AI supercomputer on blackwell architecture with 128+GB unified RAM and 1 PFLOPS AI performance. Nice device to run LLMs.

Here we have a description of The Model Context Protocol (MCP), short notes on how to implement an MCP server in Go, including message structure, protocol specifications.

Since standard Ollama doesn’t have a direct rerank API, you’ll need to implement reranking using Qwen3 Reranker in GO by generating embeddings for query-document pairs and scoring them.

In this test I’m comparing how different LLMs hosted on Ollama translate Hugo page in English to German. Three pages I tested were on different topics, had some nice markdown with some structure: headers, lists, tables, links, etc.

This little Reranking Go code example is calling Ollama to generate embeddings for the query and for eache candidate document, then sorting descending by cosine similarity.

The Qwen3 Embedding and Reranker models are the latest releases in the Qwen family, specifically designed for advanced text embedding, retrieval, and reranking tasks.

How PCIe Lanes Affect LLM Performance? Depending on the task. For training and multi-gpu inferrence - perdormance drop is significant.

In the Ollama models library there are models that able convert HTML content to Markdown, which is useful for content conversion tasks.

• Search is best for quick, straightforward information retrieval using keywords.
• Deep Search excels at understanding context and intent, delivering more relevant and comprehensive results for complex queries.
