1. Install Ollama

  • Download from: https://ollama.com/
  • Install for your platform (Windows/macOS/Linux as available)

2. Pull at least one vision-capable model

For current model recommendations and hardware sizing guidance, see Help: Choosing AI Model.

You can browse all available vision models here:

3. Configure plugin/backend

  • Set Ollama Base URL in plugin settings
  • Keep default when Ollama runs locally
  • Use explicit host URL when Ollama runs on another machine

Notes

  • Larger models generally improve quality but need more VRAM/RAM.
  • First pull can take significant time due to model size.
