Im using Ollama on my server with the WebUI. It has no GPU so its not quick to reply but not too slow either.
Im thinking about removing the VM as i just dont use it, are there any good uses or integrations into other apps that might convince me to keep it?
How well does the M1 chip keep up? What size models are you running with it? Interested in getting an M1 laptop and I am curious.

I don’t really have anything to compare the M1 performance to. I guess the 8GB models output text a little slower than the web versions of the same models, and the 4GB ones about the same. Using ollama in the terminal, there’s sometimes a 0.5-2 second pause before it starts outputting. Not with phi3 though - it’s surprisingly snappy for the quality of answers.
