Ollama 获 8800 万美元融资，加速开放模型生态发展

迈克尔和我第一次相遇是在大学，当时我们创办了第一家公司Kitematic，它让运行Docker变得极其简单。2015年，公司被Docker收购。在那里，我们的工作变成了Docker Desktop，该产品于2016年发布，如今已被全球超过一千万开发者使用。

十年之后，我们回来了，打造Ollama——这是开发者最快速启动并使用开放模型的方式。出乎我们意料，Ollama迅速成为访问开放模型的领先平台，为890万开发者提供服务，这些开发者和我们一样，相信人工智能应该是你可以自行构建、运行并掌控的。

计算的发展已有先例：个人电脑将机器从大型机房带到了你的桌面——供你拥有、定制和构建。开放模型如今正在为人工智能带来同样的时刻。

几年前，我们目睹了强大的新开放模型的出现。它们可以免费下载，但很难使其正常运行。潜力虽然存在，但对于希望像访问私有API模型一样使用这些模型的开发者而言，这种能力还没有被释放。

于是我们开始动手。我们团队推出了Ollama，这是一款可以下载到电脑上的应用，只需一个命令即可使用最新的开放模型，并通过简单的API在其上进行开发。Ollama很快成为开发者的家园，在这里他们可以发现最新的开放模型，并学习如何将其投入使用。

有了Ollama，运行开放模型变得像运行其他软件一样简单：无需许可、API密钥或昂贵的服务器硬件。你的模型。你的机器。你的数据。

我们围绕三个对客户和社区最重要的原则构建了Ollama：

所有权。开放模型由你掌控，你可以保留、定制和优化它们。你永远不会被锁定在你的代理或应用所依赖的模型之外，并且可以完全自由地修改它们。

经济性。在你自己的硬件上运行模型不会产生失控的按令牌收费。你可以自由实验、迭代和发布，而不必担心每一次提示都会增加成本。

开放模型不再是实验或研究项目。它们现在已经进入世界上最大的公司——Ollama 被 85% 的《财富》500 强公司使用——这仅仅是个开始。

最初在你的电脑上运行开放模型的快乐，已经发展成解决以前只有专有模型才能解决的非常困难问题的动力。Ollama 的云是访问最强大的开放模型的最愉快方式：GLM、Nemotron、DeepSeek、Kimi、MiniMax 等等。平均而言，Ollama 云的令牌量每月翻了一番，我们迫不及待地想让每个团队都能使用它。

今天，我们宣布 Ollama 已从 Benchmark 的 Peter Fenton、Theory Ventures 的 Tomasz Tunguz、8VC 的 Alex Kolicich，以及 Docker 创始人 Solomon Hykes、ClickHouse CEO Aaron Katz、GIMP 联合创始人兼 Cockroach Labs 联合创始人 Spencer Kimball、Amp CEO Quinn Slack、思科董事会成员 Marianna Tessel、Twitter 前工程主管 Michael Montano，以及 Y Combinator、Garage Capital、Pace Capital、49 Palms、GTMFund 和许多其他杰出的天使投资人筹集了 8800 万美元。

没有模型背后的人，这一切都不会发生。感谢那些发布强大、开放可用模型并推动整个领域发展的团队。我们的工作是让每个人轻松运行他们令人难以置信的工作，并保持它的开放性。

我们曾站在这样一次转变的起点上，押注开放和易用会胜出。现在，我们再次用我们的一切去押注它。

是时候推动开源 AI 前进了。全员出发。

感谢每一个运行过模型、提交过问题、构建过集成或发布过 Ollama 产品的人。我们喜欢听取你们的反馈。我们之所以存在，都是因为你们。

Michael and I first met in college, where we started our first company, Kitematic, which made Docker dead-simple to run. In 2015, it was acquired by Docker. There, our work became Docker Desktop, launched in 2016 and now used by over ten million developers around the world.

Ten years later, we’re back, building Ollama — the easiest way for developers to get up and running with open models. Beyond our wildest dreams, Ollama has quickly become the leading platform to access open models, serving 8.9 million developers who, just like us, believe that AI should be yours to build, run, and make your own.

Computing has been here before: the personal computer took the machine out of the mainframe room and put it on your desk — yours to own, customize, and build with. Open models are now enabling that moment for AI.

A few years ago we watched as powerful new open models emerged. They were freely available to download, but it was hard to get them working. The power was there, but it wasn’t unlocked for developers who wanted to consume them the way they could access proprietary models behind an API.

So we got to work. With our team we shipped Ollama, an app you could download on your computer to get up and running with the latest open models in a single command, and build on them via a simple API. Ollama quickly became the place where developers could feel at home to discover the latest open models and learn how to put them to work.

With Ollama, running an open model became as easy as running any other piece of software: no permission, API key, or expensive server hardware required. Your model. Your machine. Your data.

We built Ollama around three principles that matter most to our customers and community:

Ownership. Open models are yours to keep, customize, and optimize. You’re never locked out of the models your agent or app depends on, and you have complete freedom to change them.

Affordability. Models that run on your own hardware don’t come with runaway per-token bills. You can experiment, iterate, and ship without worrying that every prompt is adding cost.

Open models aren’t an experiment or a research project anymore. They’re now running inside the largest companies in the world — Ollama is used by 85% of the Fortune 500 — and it’s just the beginning.

What started as the joy of running an open model on your computer for the first time has evolved into the drive to solve very difficult problems once reserved for proprietary models. Ollama’s cloud is the most delightful way to access the most powerful open models: GLM, Nemotron, DeepSeek, Kimi, MiniMax and more. On average, Ollama’s cloud has more than doubled in token volume every month, and we can’t wait to make it available to every team.

Today, we’re announcing that Ollama has raised $88M from Peter Fenton at Benchmark, Tomasz Tunguz at Theory Ventures, Alex Kolicich at 8VC, along with Solomon Hykes (founder of Docker), Aaron Katz (CEO of ClickHouse), Spencer Kimball (co-creator of GIMP and co-founder of Cockroach Labs), Quinn Slack (CEO of Amp), Marianna Tessel (board of directors, Cisco), Michael Montano (former head of engineering at Twitter), and Y Combinator, Garage Capital, Pace Capital, 49 Palms, GTMFund, and many other incredible angel investors.

None of this happens without the people behind the models. Thank you to the teams releasing powerful, openly available models and moving the entire field ahead. Our job is to make their incredible work effortless to run for everyone and to keep it open.

We’ve stood at the beginning of a shift like this once before, betting that open and easy would win. We’re betting on it again, with everything we’ve got.

It’s time to drive open-source AI forward. All aboard.
