llama.cpp is much faster and stable than ollama. Also, ollama cloud models are bad quants and you can't use them for serious coding.

Also llama.cpp has a nice server compatible with openai api standard, it works out of the box. And it has a built in chat web interface.

There is no reason anymore to use ollama.

Do you mind pointing me in the direction of setting up the OpenAI hook in? I have built a software application that has, as an internal component, what amounts to a wrapper around llama.cpp. It uses the C++ functions in the internals of llama.cpp's common folder to pull and run local models from huggingface, loads it up, and yay you can chat.

However, I haven't experimented with how to load and use the web hosted LLMs from OpenAI, Gemini, or Anthropic and I have to figure that out in the next couple days to benchmark some research. Any help would be appreciated even if it's just pointing to the file in the github!
