LLM

Running large language models (LLMs) locally has become increasingly popular for privacy, cost control, and offline capabilities. The landscape shifted significantly in April 2025 when Docker introduced Docker Model Runner (DMR), its official solution for AI model deployment.

The future of AI is not only about smarter models. It is also about silicon that matches how those models are actually served. Specialized hardware for LLM inference is following a path reminiscent of Bitcoin mining’s move from GPUs to purpose-built ASICs, only with harder constraints because models and precision recipes keep evolving.

NVIDIA DGX Spark is real, on sale Oct 15, 2025, and targeted at CUDA developers needing local LLM work with an integrated NVIDIA AI stack. US MSRP $3,999; UK/DE/JP retail is higher due to VAT and channel. AUD/KRW public sticker prices are not yet widely posted on 15/10/2025. The 29/10/2026 check is in the later street-price section.

Here is a comparison between Qwen3:30b and GPT-OSS:20b focusing on instruction following and performance parameters, specs and speed.

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.

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.

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.
