What would you like to see?

Thanks for your great work!

I am a user of llama.cpp. When I installed AnythingLLM it started installing Ollama which I do not want as I need the disk space.

Is there a way to install AnythingLLM without any Ollama libraries?

We package this inside the desktop app so unfortunately, we do not have a way to install this without the Ollama binaries.

@MichaelHochkins You can remove all the files in storage/engines/ollama/lib which will remove all the bloat. Keep the .ollama-version file though to prevent it from every re-downloading though on update installs!
https://docs.anythingllm.com/installation-desktop/storage

This will at least allow you to move on without the bloat from the initial install, but there is no option to go around it.

Eventually, we will move eveyone to llama.cpp internally, which is much more stable and faster. Ollama is there as a legacy decision.
