Ollama Minions: Merging Local and Cloud LLMs for Next-Gen Efficiency
TL;DR Ollama Minions is a framework that orchestrates hybrid local-cloud inference for large language models. Instead of sending an entire, possibly massive document to the cloud model for processing (which can be prohibitively expensive and raises privacy concerns), Minions enables your local LM - for instance, Llama 3.2 running on your own machine - to handle most of the input. The cloud model (such as GPT-4o) is called upon only when necessary for advanced reasoning, ensuring minimal API usage and associated costs. ...
