Big day for Ollama! When we started, open models and the open source AI ecosystem were in their early days with few believers.
Our belief in open source has never wavered.
With today's fundraising announcement and our 9M+ active builders, we’re ready to scale open models into
Great to be on TBPN to share more on Ollama's Series B fundraise and how open models are becoming the dominant force in enterprise. Thanks for having me ☺️.
@jmorgan was on @tbpn this week to discuss Ollama's Series B fundraise and why open models are quickly becoming the default choice for developers
Full video:
Token usage beginning to tip towards open models.
Ollama’s @jmorgan and Peter Fenton predict that a supermajority of tokens in the future will be from open models.
Is compute scarcity masking the real economics of AI?
interesting point from @peterfenton: open-weight models are still complex to run well. For now, the big labs have the bundle: model + compute + reliability + access... and thus pricing power.
But if compute supply loosens
Watch Ollama's @jmorgan and @peterfenton on @CNBC with @dee_bosa at 12pm PT / 3pm ET to discuss "The Post-Frontier Era" and "Open-Source AI's Breakout Moment"
Benchmark’s @peterfenton says 90%+ of tokens could come from open weight models in the next 18-24 months, pressuring frontier model margins.
Full convo at 12p PT/3p ET on the livestream, plus @AravSrinivas on Perplexity’s new orchestrator model and @jmorgan on why enterprises
The best AI advantage isn’t a better model, it's owning the one you run. And @ollama is how you do it.
8.9M developers build on it (growing nearly another million each week), with 67K integrations and adoption in 85% of Fortune 500.
Theory is proud to back founders @jmorgan
It all started when I knocked on a door in Palo Alto.
I saw a little llama icon on the door. Michael opened it. That's how I became friends with the Ollama founders.
Today we led their $65m Series B. 🧵
GLM-5.2 on Ollama's cloud just got more capacity in US & Europe!
Ollama's cloud for GLM 5.2 consistently delivers between 80 to 120 output tokens per second, even during peak hours, compared to 30 to 40 tok/s on other providers.

And that's a wrap on World's Fair in SF 🎉
Thanks to everyone who stopped by the booth to say hi and dive into LanceDB internals. Some of the best conversations happen at a conference booth and this year was no exception.
It was great meeting everyone who came out to SPIN SF
We @togethercompute believe intelligence should be abundant, not expensive.
Today we announced our Series C funding of $800m @ $8.3B valuation, to continue to build the world's most efficient platform for generative AI.
Thanks @nikogallogly for telling our story in @nytimes!
