elitan wires Mike up for fully local AI

A new provider lets the codebase run against models on your own machine, with no paid API key required.

elitan has added Ollama as a third option alongside the existing cloud AI providers. Ollama is a tool that runs open-source language models directly on a laptop or server - no outside API calls, no per-token billing, nothing leaving the box. Models tagged for Ollama show up in the picker as always-available, and the usual nag about missing API keys quietly steps aside.

The direction of travel is clear from the rest of the day's work in this fork: the maintainer is pulling out other cloud dependencies in parallel. Taken together, it's a push to make Mike something a firm or solo practitioner could stand up entirely behind their own firewall. The streaming and tool-use plumbing is hand-rolled, so anyone leaning hard on tool calls against a small local model should kick the tyres first.

So what Worth a look for any legal team that has been told - by IT, by a client, or by a regulator - that confidential matter data cannot leave their own infrastructure.
