Ollama FAQ
Ollama, 2026
Read the originalRead on October 17, 2026
- What it is
- The FAQ of Ollama, an open-source tool for running language models on your own computer. Its answer on whether Ollama sends prompts to ollama.com says how local runs and cloud-hosted models differ.
- How much weight it carries
- The vendor's own documentation, so it is a statement of what Ollama does, not an independent audit. The page is live and undated, so the wording may change. It covers Ollama's own service only, not other tools that run the same models.
Facts taken from this source
- Ollama's FAQ says that when you use its cloud-hosted models, it processes your prompts and responses to provide the service, and does not store or log that content.
