The problem is that OSS is free to use but it is not free to create or maintain. If you want it to remain free to use and also up to date, Ollama will need someone to address issues on GitHub. Usually people want to be paid money for that.
money is great! I like money! but if this is their version of buy me a coffee I think there’s room to run elsewhere for their skillset/area of expertise
hmm, I don't think so. This is more of, we want to keep improving Ollama so we can have a great core.
For the users who want GPUs, which cost us money, we will charge money for it. Completely optional.
