 ## Ollama
 
-[Ollama](https://ollama.com/) allows you to self-host large language models and keep everything running locally. It provides a nice API over [llama.cpp](https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp). It is highly recommended to host this server on a machine with an Nvidia graphics card, or on a Apple silicon Mac for best performance. Most of the 7b parameter 4-bit vision models will fit inside 8GB of VRAM. There is also a [docker container](https://hub.docker.com/r/ollama/ollama) available.

+Parallel requests also come with some caveats. See the [Ollama documentation](https://github.com/ollama/ollama/blob/main/docs/faq.md#how-does-ollama-handle-concurrent-requests).
 
 ### Supported Models
 
-You must use a vision capable model with Frigate. Current model variants can be found [in their model library](https://ollama.com/library). At the time of writing, this includes `llava`, `llava-llama3`, `llava-phi3`, and `moondream`.

Note that Frigate will not automatically download the model you specify in your config, you must download the model to your local instance of Ollama first.
