I tried Ollama to run small models locally and learned how AI can work without expensive APIs.</p> <p>As someone from Oluvil, attending events mostly online, Hacktoberfest motivated me to start contributing to open source. My goal is to build small tools for our university community.</p> <p>This is just my beginning in open source. Excited to learn more!</p> <h1> hacktoberfest #week3 </h1> devchallenge hf26challenge hacktoberfest productivity
