The local AI system so far

You can describe it like this:

• The user connects via browser to the host machine
  

• The request hits Open WebUI (running in Docker)
• Open WebUI calls the Ollama API on port 11434
• Ollama processes the request using local models
• The response flows back to the browser

Simple mental model

Browser → WebUI → Ollama → Model → Response
