Reins: for Ollama & LM Studio

We have been utilizing this as both the front end and back in operations in AI and VI operations analytics within our infrastructure we have found that this has been a very exciting platform and tool that allows us to use existing infrastructure resources that are not to the general public, but at the same time balancing out public access in our processes operations in our research. I do recommend that if you’re going to utilize this in an environment that is in a corporate structure or research center that you allow this to run in your infrastructure that has the suitable configuration, including TPU and GPU included in the configuration inside the servers itself and have high speed storage interaction and connection connections that allow the process to collect the information necessary and then provide the most non-biased laboratory information and also will allow your team to create your own models as well. Done our initial research and development. Did this information allowed to be used and collect an invoice information other models within the system, but for security reasons and other aspects of this, we decided to disable dysfunction in our production side of our house however, in the research side on how it’s the best we still have it available but a production and more sensitive stuff because of security and the lack of guardrails and business ethics of those are outside the world of our development in ethics disabled this before it could be also used against us as well, but we get strong. Kudos to this platform and so thankful that it’s available.

As a recent convert the localized models and Ollama I must say I’m a believer. Frankly, I’m probably lucky to have started now because the selection of models that can run in my Mac mini is impressive—already finding quality that matches or surpasses my personal Gemini 2.5 pro and pro research — which has been the best so far. Now I’m running local for free and with Reins I can extend this newfound freedom and security to have a pretty seamless experience from clouds to home. Thank you. You are honored for making this and giving it away

Thinking and tool use are basic features provided by the already running ollama server. I get gating some features, like search API features, or things that require your custom MCP server, but gating basic model features like thinking, image input support, or simple things like a server list, model parameters, and other things that the users are already getting just by running ollama is just kind of... clownish i could see paying $10 or so for some of those features. one time. the more premium lifetime access for the search feature and custom tools and whatever also makes sense, but a subscription fee for features that were already freely available before makes me sad. i could just pay $20 for for claude credits to deploy openwebui with a self update script or something and use that in safari at that point 😭
