Choose ollama if…
- ollama is primarily Go; 1flowbase is Rust.
- License: ollama is MIT, 1flowbase is Apache-2.0.
- Ollama supports self-hosted and cloud-deployable models using Docker, Helm charts, and various package managers.
- Tags unique to ollama: deepseek, gemma, glm, go.
- ollama ships Docker support for self-hosted deployment.
- Use Ollama when you require a multi-model platform supporting several large language models such as Kimi-K2.6, GLM-5.1, MiniMax, DeepSeek, gpt-oss, Qwen, Gemma and intend to deploy in various cloud or
When NOT to use ollama
- Avoid using Ollama if you are only interested in a single LLM deployment and seek simplified, model-specific solutions with tailored support rather than a comprehensive multi-model platform.
Choose 1flowbase if…
- 1flowbase is primarily Rust; ollama is Go.
- License: 1flowbase is Apache-2.0, ollama is MIT.
- Tags unique to 1flowbase: agent-observability, agent-tracing, ai-gateway, claude-api.
- Also covers AI Agents.
When NOT to use 1flowbase
- AI Agents: Don't use an agent loop when a deterministic workflow would do; agents add latency, cost, and non-determinism.
- Inference & Serving: Self-hosting rarely beats a hosted API on cost until you have steady, high-volume traffic.
- LLM Frameworks: Avoid a framework for a single prompt-and-retrieve call; the abstraction can cost more than it saves.
