Excellent introduction
Format: Kindle
This is a well-written introduction for quickly learning how to use Ollama to run LLMs on your local machine. The book is light on theory but very good for facilitating hands-on experimentation. Only minimal Python experience is needed. Contrary to another reviewer's comment, the source code, which can be copied from the Kindle version of the text, is also readily available by emailing the author at the address provided. The final exercise in the book leads you through generating a RAG application to use Ollama to process your own documents without having to make them available to an external server.

Lim provides an easy-to-follow path to get an LLM-powered app up and running
Format: Kindle
Lim has written another really clear, easy-to-follow tutorial. This one walked me through the Ollama platform showing step-by-step how to download open weight models, query them, supply them with my own documents, and write applications that are powered by LLMs. Lim provides an easy-to-follow path to get the first version of an LLM-powered app up and running.
