What it is
For Node and browser developers who want a typed, streaming bridge to Ollama without reinventing HTTP calls. This is the official SDK, so it tracks Ollama’s API surface closely and ships ESM-native with full TypeScript definitions. Streaming works in the browser once you configure CORS on the Ollama server — a one-time setup that’s worth the trade-off for real-time chat UIs. It’s fully offline by design, since Ollama runs locally, and works across Linux, macOS, Windows, and the web. Just know it’s Ollama-specific: if you later switch runtimes, you’ll swap SDKs entirely.
✓ Strengths
- +Official + maintained by Ollama team
- +Streaming works in browser when CORS allows
- +ESM-native, TypeScript-first
△ Caveats
- −Browser usage requires CORS config on the server
- −Ollama-specific
About the SDK / proxy category
Thin SDK / proxy / compatibility layer.
Best universal LLM proxy. Foundational layer for multi-provider deployments.
Foundational primitive for Python scripts against Ollama. Official, maintained, typed.
Cloud-only LLM router. Useful category, novel pricing. The 'unlimited' math has a known failure mode at heavy usage.
