OllamaSharp 🦙

OllamaSharp provides .NET bindings for the Ollama API, simplifying interactions with Ollama both locally and remotely.

✅ Supporting Microsoft.Extensions.AI and Microsoft Semantic Kernel

Features

  • Ease of use: Interact with Ollama in just a few lines of code.
  • API endpoint coverage: Support for all the Ollama API endpoints, including chats, embeddings, listing models, pulling and creating new models, and more.
  • Real-time streaming: Stream responses directly to your application.
  • Progress reporting: Get real-time progress feedback on tasks like model pulling.
  • Support for vision models and tools (function calling).

Usage

OllamaSharp wraps each Ollama API endpoint in awaitable methods that fully support response streaming.

The following list shows a few simple code examples.

ℹ Try our full featured demo application that's included in this repository

Initializing

// set up the client
var uri = new Uri("http://localhost:11434");
var ollama = new OllamaApiClient(uri);

// select a model which should be used for further operations
ollama.SelectedModel = "llama3.1:8b";

Listing all models that are available locally

var models = await ollama.ListLocalModelsAsync();

Pulling a model and reporting progress

await foreach (var status in ollama.PullModelAsync("llama3.1:405b"))
    Console.WriteLine($"{status.Percent}% {status.Status}");

Generating a completion directly into the console

await foreach (var stream in ollama.GenerateAsync("How are you today?"))
    Console.Write(stream.Response);

Building interactive chats

var chat = new Chat(ollama);
while (true)
{
    var message = Console.ReadLine();
    await foreach (var answerToken in chat.SendAsync(message))
        Console.Write(answerToken);
}
// messages including their roles and tool calls will automatically be tracked within the chat object
// and are accessible via the Messages property
