Wait ollama cloud has a free tier?
Sounds too good. Where's the catch? And is it private?
- bradfa 1y agoThe catch is ollama cloud is likely to increase prices and/or decrease usage limit levels soon. Free tier has more restrictions than their $20/mo tier. They claim to not store anything (https://ollama.com/cloud https://ollama.com/cloud) but you'll have to clarify what you mean by "private" (your model likely runs on shared hardware with other users).
- vinhnx 1y agoI agree. "Free" usage could mean tradeoff. But for side-project and experiments, to accesss open source model like gpt-oss, as my machine can not run, I think I will accept it.
- bradfa 1y agoMy experience with the free tier and qwen3-coder cloud is the hourly limit gets you about 250k tokens input and then your usage is paused till the hour is up. Enough to try something very small.
- vinhnx 1y agoYeah, Ollama recently announces Cloud, as I think it still in beta and free, usage is generously too, enough to build and hack on. But I'm not sure about data training, I don't see the settings to turn this off..
