Q&A

Can I build agents without using the cloud?

Yes, you can build agents locally using the Llama 3 model and Ollama.

What is the difference between Llama 3 and Phi-3 models?

The Llama 3 model is larger and generally more powerful, while the Phi-3 model is smaller but still effective for various tasks.

How can I use Ollama functions to get weather information?

You can define a tool function for getting weather information and use Ollama functions to call that function with specific arguments, such as the location and unit of measurement.

What other tasks can I perform with Ollama functions?

You can perform various tasks, such as language translation, data analysis, and more, by defining appropriate tool functions and calling them using Ollama functions.

Is Ollama functions supported by all models on Ollama?

No, not all models on Ollama support Ollama functions. However, models like Llama 3, Phi-3, and some Mixtral models are compatible with Ollama functions.
