Ollama uses an architecture where a main process manages scheduling and inference is handed off to subprocesses: GGUF is handled by llama.cpp's llama-server process, and Apple Silicon has a separate MLX Runner.

UnverifiedOllama is built on the llama.cpp project, a C/C++ inference engine developed by Georgi Gerganov that is deeply optimized for CPU and Apple Silicon.72% similarUnverifiedBoth Ollama and LM Studio rely on llama.cpp, an open-source inference engine, at their core, and both have good support for Apple Silicon's Metal acceleration and NVIDIA's CUDA acceleration.72% similarUnverifiedOllama integrates the llama.cpp framework at its core, compressing model weights through the GGUF quantization format, enabling models to run on ordinary CPUs or Apple M-series chips71% similarUnverifiedOllama has built its own first-party multimodal engine for vision models and runs via a native MLX path on Apple Silicon, no longer being merely a wrapper around llama.cpp.70% similarVerifiedOllama is an open-source local large model runtime, implemented on top of llama.cpp, and supports hybrid CPU and GPU inference70% similar
