Requirements

If you want to interact with self-hosted Large Language Models (LLMs) using Ollama or LM Studio, you will need to have the self-hosted API set up and running. You can follow the instructions provided by the self-hosted API provider to get it up and running. Once you have the REST API URL for your self-hosted API, you can use it with this plugin to interact with your models.

Access to other models may require an API key.
