How these alternatives were chosen
Tools Ollama names as alternatives that this directory also publishes, followed by others in AI. The order is not a ranking, and "—" means we have not checked that field — not that the answer is no.
Ollama also lists LM Studio, vLLM, LocalAI, Hugging Face Inference API as alternatives. Those are not in this directory yet, so there is nothing to compare — and nothing to link to.
