Integrate Ollama for Local AI Capabilities

[mbarinov]

Description

Objective: Integrate Ollama into RepoGPT to enable local AI processing using models like Llama 2.

---

Rationale

• Enhanced Privacy: Keep code and AI interactions on the local machine.
• Cost Reduction: Eliminate reliance on paid external AI APIs.
• Offline Accessibility: Use AI features without an internet connection.

---

Proposed Solution

• Integrate Ollama Support:

  • Allow RepoGPT to use Ollama as an alternative AI backend.
  • Add configuration options to switch between OpenAI and Ollama.

• Update Documentation:

  • Provide setup instructions for installing Ollama and required models.
  • Include troubleshooting tips for common issues.

---

Potential Challenges

• Resource Requirements: Running large models locally may require significant CPU/GPU resources.
• Setup Complexity: Users might find installing and configuring Ollama challenging.
• Performance Considerations: Local models may have different performance characteristics compared to cloud-based solutions.
