I set up ollama on our thinkstation in the lab and I use it for looking up documentation, generating readmes, searching papers, and sometimes coding when I know what to do but don't feel it is worth it to spend time on it myself. So basically the chat with web search.
Which models did you find particularly useful for those tasks?
Gemma 4, gpt oss, and nemotron. Currently I've been sticking with Gemma more, the 31 billion parameters one.
