Deploying Ollama on Modal
Alternatively titled: How I Upgraded My Mental Model of Modal
Hello fellow datanistas!
Ever wondered how to deploy large open source models on platforms not constrained by your local hardware? I've embarked on a journey that might just shed some light on this!
I recently dived into deploying Ollama on Modal, a task that initially seemed daunting. Inspired by the need to handle models larger than my MacBook Air can support, I turned to Modal, leveraging its powerful cloud capabilities. This blog post is not just about the technical steps, but also about the learning process and the people who helped guide me.
In the post, I break down the script used, discuss the Modal configurations, and share the challenges I faced. It's a mix of technical guide and personal journey, aimed at helping you understand not just the 'how' but also the 'why' of this deployment process.
I've included code snippets, configuration details, and even some troubleshooting tips. Whether you're a seasoned developer or a curious enthusiast, there's something in it for everyone.
This exploration into Modal and Ollama has been both challenging and rewarding. I hope my experiences can help demystify the process for others and provide a useful resource for those looking to expand their deployment capabilities.
