Ollama Setup in Bath

Setting up Ollama for Bath teams who want models running locally, usually for development or for work that cannot leave the machine. What determines whether it is usable is memory: a model has to fit, and the quantised version that fits comfortably behaves differently from the full-precision one you may have evaluated.

Why this comes up

The problem

A model was chosen on published quality, the quantised version that actually fits produces noticeably worse output, and nobody compared them.

What you get

What we deliver

  • Model and quantisation selected against the memory actually available
  • Quality compared between quantisation levels on your own tasks
  • Hardware acceleration configured, since the difference is not marginal
  • Context length set deliberately, as it consumes memory alongside the model
  • A consistent local setup across the team rather than everyone improvising
  • An honest position on what this is for, and what it is not

Ollama Setup in Bath — common questions

How much does quantisation affect quality?
Enough to test. Heavier quantisation reduces memory considerably and degrades output, and how much depends on the model and the task — so the comparison should be run on your actual work rather than assumed from general reputation.
What limits which model we can run?
Memory, primarily, and it is shared with the context window. A model that loads with room to spare can still fail on a long prompt, so the sizing calculation has to include the context length you intend to use rather than just the weights.
Is local as good as a hosted model?
Generally not, at comparable convenience. Models you can run on a workstation are smaller than the frontier hosted ones, and that shows on harder tasks — which makes local the right choice when confidentiality or offline operation matters more than capability.
Should the whole team use the same setup?
Yes, or you will chase differences that are environmental. Different models, quantisations and context settings across developers produce inconsistent behaviour that gets attributed to code changes rather than to the setup.
Do you work with businesses across Somerset?
Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout South West, including Bath and the surrounding Somerset area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
What kind of Bath businesses do you usually work with?
Visitor booking and ticketing for heritage operators, and brand work for independents competing on a very crowded high street. Beyond that we work across Tourism & Heritage, Higher Education, Professional Services, Retail and Software.
Do you cover the areas around Bath?
Yes — we work throughout South West, including Bristol, Salisbury, Gloucester. Bath is an urban area of roughly 95,000+, and we take on work across the wider Somerset region rather than the city boundary alone.
