Use Cases
- Test local Ollama model performance
- Compare different local AI models
- Validate self-hosted AI reliability
- Measure local AI response times
Simple Implementation
Setup Instructions
- Install Ollama: Download from ollama.ai
-
Pull Models: Install models you want to test:
-
Start Ollama: Run
ollama serve
(usually starts automatically) -
Verify Setup: Test with
curl http://localhost:11434/api/tags
What This Tests
- Local AI Performance: Measures response times for local models
- Model Comparison: Compare different models on same hardware
- Resource Usage: Monitor CPU/GPU usage during testing
- Reliability: Test local AI stability under load
Performance Tips
- GPU Acceleration: Use NVIDIA GPU for faster inference
- Model Size: Smaller models (7B) are faster than larger ones (13B, 70B)
- Memory: Ensure sufficient RAM for model loading
- Concurrent Users: Start with low numbers to avoid overwhelming local hardware
Common Issues
- Model Not Found: Ensure models are pulled with
ollama pull
- Connection Refused: Check if Ollama service is running
- Slow Responses: Local models are slower than cloud APIs
- Memory Issues: Large models require significant RAM/VRAM
