로컬 LLM 생태계에는 Ollama가 필요하지 않다

Ollama's shift from community-focused tool to proprietary practices—evident in undercredited llama.cpp dependence, performance regressions, and closed-source app distribution—reveals a critical business-versus-open-source tension in the local LLM ecosystem. Community-driven alternatives like llama.cpp and LM Studio now outperform Ollama with superior transparency and ecosystem compatibility, making its proprietary approach increasingly untenable. For developers building infrastructure, this landscape change is crucial: understanding how business interests can undermine the open-source foundations they depend on helps avoid vendor lock-in and maintain control.
