Install Ollama (free)

Ollama is the AI engine that runs models on your machine. Download it from ollama.com, then pull a model.

Pull a model & start chatting

Run 'ollama pull llama3.1' in your terminal. HammerLock detects it automatically. You're ready.

Power Your AI Locally

HammerLock AI is the interface. Ollama is the engine that runs AI models on your machine. You need both — the app does not include a model. Install Ollama, pull a model, and everything runs 100% offline.
