brauliogusmao plugs Ollama into Mike for local-model runs
The fork can now talk to models running on your own machine, not just remote APIs.
Braulio Gusmão has added Ollama - a tool for running open-source language models locally - as a first-class option inside Mike. The model picker now shows a 'Local (Ollama)' group that fills itself in based on whatever models you happen to have installed on the machine, sitting alongside the existing remote providers rather than replacing them.
The more interesting move is how documents get to the model. Instead of letting the model decide mid-conversation to go fetch a document - the standard pattern with the bigger commercial models - Mike now loads the relevant documents into the prompt up front. The reasoning is honest: the smaller models you can realistically run on a laptop or office server aren't reliable at that kind of mid-flight tool use, so the integration just hands them everything they need at the start.
