Ollama Announces Funding to Scale Open Source AI Models
The company says a new funding round will help it scale local AI tools after reaching more than 9 million active builders.
Ollama says it has raised new funding and now serves more than 9 million active builders, casting the moment as a push to scale open models people can run locally and own. The claim comes from the company's own post on X, where Ollama said its belief in open source "has never wavered" and tied the fundraising announcement to demand for local AI. LlamaIndex CEO Jerry Liu also amplified the post with a brief congratulations.
Huge milestone for Ollama and the open models ecosystem. 9M+ active builders is the clearest signal that people don’t just want AI access — they want AI they can run, customize, and own. Congrats to the Ollama team. Open models are becoming infrastructure.
