Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/Mintplex-Labs/anything-llm/issues/4480

My AnythingLLM works well with a cloud-based server with Anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-20250514 and embedding via OpenAI/text-embedding-3-large.
Basically, I have thousands of chunks of text in a work area, and I need accurate answers to searches, before daring to make use of the set-up for “real” AI tasks.
When I move over to an Ollama-based private (which is necessary) installment, I cannot find anything that works just as well. Depending on the model I select, answers are incomplete, nonsense or hallucinations. Some models do not even investigate the work area, even though this is exclusively the very task.
I have 24 GB RAM in the private setup.
What can I do to make it work just as well as in the cloud-based setup?

Please excuse if this is not the place for such support issues. It is my first time here

@timothycarambat commented on GitHub (Oct 3, 2025):

So this isnt the place for this kind of discussion - however, I can still help in this thread.

Basically, everything comes down to the model. You mention RAM but not if you have a GPU. So what are these models running on? Additionally, what specific model are you using from Ollama.

This could be a quantization + hardware + model + context window issue. Ollama will use a very small context window wrt to your available hardware unless you tell it to use the whole window (which can be slow!). We allow you to do this in the Ollama LLM connection > Advanced Settings > Performance Mode > Max
