Ollama is great! You can also connect the api to, and host your own chatbot clients. Check out open-webui
fyi, if you're on an m series mac you can:

brew install ollama
ollama run deepseek-r1:14b

It's that simple.
Free, offline, sonnet level.

Oh interesting, if you take URL bsky.app/topic/ and append any keyword - it creates an insta-feed feed for that topic.
