Ollaya

Ollaya is a command-line tool and desktop application that downloads and serves open decision models locally.

Ollaya downloads and serves open decision models on your own machine. It provides typed, calibrated answers to text or JSON questions in milliseconds, keeping data private and secure. Inspired by Ollama, it uses a single binary and local API while maintaining compatibility with TypeSafe's API and Python SDK. The platform supports models such as winnow, laya, decider, kev, nli, gliclass, qwen3guard, and decision, running on ONNX Runtime or llama.cpp. It is designed for developers and users who need local, zero-fee decision-making without per-token charges.
