Docker is making it easier for developers to run and test AI Large Language Models (LLMs) on their PCs with the launch of Docker Model Runner, a new beta feature in Docker Desktop 4.40 for Apple silicon-powered Macs. It also integrates the Model Context Protocol (MCP) for streamlined connections between AI agents and data sources.
Ollama now supports HuggingFace GGUF models, making it easier for users to run AI models locally without internet. The GGUF format allows for the use of AI models on modest-sized consumer hardware.
