📌 Ollama Ready

BharatBuddy is packaged for Ollama so you can: - Pull it and run locally: ollama pull your-namespace/bharatbuddy - Serve it securely on your private Ollama instance - Share with the community via ollama push

Quick Start

# Pull the model
ollama pull bharatbuddy

# Run interactive session
ollama run bharatbuddy

# Example query
ollama run bharatbuddy "How do I implement a REST API in Flask?"

API Usage

import requests

response = requests.post('http://localhost:11434/api/generate',
    json={
        'model': 'bharatbuddy',
        'prompt': 'Explain the difference between list and tuple in Python',
        'stream': False
    })

print(response.json()['response'])

// Node.js example
const response = await fetch('http://localhost:11434/api/generate', {
    method: 'POST',
    body: JSON.stringify({
        model: 'bharatbuddy',
        prompt: 'How to handle async/await in JavaScript?'
    })
});

const data = await response.json();
console.log(data.response);
