OllamaSharp is an open-source .NET library that provides strongly typed bindings for interacting with the Ollama API, making it easier for developers to integrate local large language models into C# and .NET applications. The project acts as a wrapper around the Ollama API, exposing all endpoints through asynchronous methods that allow developers to perform tasks such as generating text, creating embeddings, and managing models. It supports both local and remote Ollama instances, enabling developers to run AI models on their own hardware or connect to remote model servers. The library is designed to simplify integration by allowing developers to interact with AI models using just a few lines of code while still supporting advanced functionality. OllamaSharp also includes real-time streaming capabilities that allow applications to display generated responses incrementally as they are produced.
