Run Ollama LLMs on Android

Ollama is an open source tool that allows you to run a wide range of Large Language Models (LLMs). This is great for the privacy conscious, with no input data being sent to the cloud. Meta's Llama 3.2 text only models feature three billion (3b) and one billion(1b) parameter models. Their small size makes them ideal for local operation on smartphones. Ollama can be run on Android, using Termux, which is a Unix/Linux based command line tool and utility.
