LiteLLM supports all models from Ollama

Open In Colab
info

We recommend using ollama_chat for better responses.

Pre-requisites​

Ensure you have your ollama server running

Example usage​

from litellm import completion

response = completion(
    model="ollama/llama2", 
    messages=[{ "content": "respond in 20 words. who are you?","role": "user"}], 
    api_base="http://localhost:11434"
)
print(response)

Example usage - Streaming​

from litellm import completion

response = completion(
    model="ollama/llama2", 
    messages=[{ "content": "respond in 20 words. who are you?","role": "user"}], 
    api_base="http://localhost:11434",
    stream=True
)
print(response)
for chunk in response:
    print(chunk['choices'][0]['delta'])

Example usage - Streaming + Acompletion​

Ensure you have async_generator installed for using ollama acompletion with streaming

pip install async_generator
async def async_ollama():
    response = await litellm.acompletion(
        model="ollama/llama2", 
        messages=[{ "content": "what's the weather" ,"role": "user"}], 
        api_base="http://localhost:11434", 
        stream=True
    )
    async for chunk in response:
        print(chunk)

# call async_ollama
import asyncio
asyncio.run(async_ollama())

Example Usage - JSON Mode​

To use ollama JSON Mode pass format="json" to litellm.completion()

from litellm import completion
response = completion(
  model="ollama/llama2",
  messages=[
      {
          "role": "user",
          "content": "respond in json, what's the weather"
      }
  ],
  max_tokens=10,
  format = "json"
)

Using ollama api/chat​

In order to send ollama requests to POST /api/chat on your ollama server, set the model prefix to ollama_chat

from litellm import completion

response = completion(
    model="ollama_chat/llama2", 
    messages=[{ "content": "respond in 20 words. who are you?","role": "user"}], 
)
print(response)
