01 / INSTALL → TEST → REVIEW
Download from the official website. Do not run remote installation scripts you have not reviewed.
ollama run gemma3:1bA small model test does not establish the performance or business accuracy of larger models.
“Summarize this public paragraph in one sentence. Do not add new facts.”
Check speed, memory, omissions, and invented details before deciding what comes next.
02 / THE CHECKLIST
Distinguish local models from cloud models. Using Ollama does not mean every request stays on your computer.
The model download is about 815 MB. Actual RAM use and response speed depend on your hardware and settings.
Start with public text, not customer records, passwords, or API keys. Do not expose the local API port to the internet.
Small models can invent or misstate facts. Compare the answer with its source and decide whether it fits your task.
Ollama uses MIT. Gemma has separate model terms. Review the tool license and model terms independently.
This checklist and the local tool do not require a paid subscription. Hardware, electricity, storage, and your time still matter.
