Just tried llama.cpp

NO, it is not simpler or even as simple as Ollama.

There are multiple options-- llama server and cli, its not obivous which model to use.

With ollama, its one file. And you get the models from their site, you can browse an easy list.

I dont have the time to go thru 20billlion hugging face models and decide which is the one for me.

Thanks, but I'm sticking with Ollama
