Quiz: How to Get Started With Ollama
Summary
This is a 10‑question quiz that checks your grasp of installing Ollama, pulling models, choosing between chat and generate APIs, and managing multi‑turn conversations in Python. It reinforces the basics of running LLMs on your own hardware for privacy and offline use.
- Installing Ollama locally enables private LLM inference on your hardware.
- Use `ollama pull <model>` to download a model before invoking it from Python.
- `chat()` maintains conversation state across turns, while `generate()` is for single-shot completions.
- Running models locally removes reliance on external APIs and internet connectivity.
Python developers who want to run LLMs locally should verify they understand Ollama's setup and API usage.
