Ollama

Ollama runs open-weight models locally on your machine. Jorv Builder can route drones (and optionally the brain) through Ollama — useful for fully offline work, privacy-sensitive codebases, or just experimenting.

What Jorv Builder supports

  • Drone routing — set Ollama as your drone provider in Settings → AI Models → Drones.
  • Brain routing — possible but not recommended; Claude Opus is meaningfully better at the planning + tool-use loop than current open-weight models.
  • Auto-discovery — Jorv Builder queries localhost:11434 and lists the models you have installed.

Setup

  1. Install Ollama: curl -fsSL https://ollama.com/install.sh | sh (macOS / Linux) or download from ollama.com.
  2. Pull a model you want to use: 
    ollama pull qwen2.5-coder:14b
  3. Start Ollama (ollama serve if it didn't auto-start).
  4. In Jorv Builder, Settings → AI Models → Ollama. Jorv Builder lists installed models. Pick one for the drone slot.

Performance

Local models are slower than hosted Claude / GPT for the same task. Plan for ~3–10× longer drone calls. The trade-off is zero per-call cost and full offline operation.
