Ollama — our take
The de-facto local model runtime: one command to run open models, free and open-source.
- One-command model setup
- Huge model library
- Open-source and free
Dream Companion — our take
Character creation is the hook: a quick mode plus a deeper workshop for personality and backstory, with image, video, and voice generation on top. Media runs on a Dream Coins system.
- Unusually deep character creator
- Cheap annual entry (~$5.84/mo)
