Olla v0.1.0 adds Hugging Face TEI support, a reworked dashboard, and improved failover for managing local LLM inference fleets.
Details
- Olla v0.1.0 is a lightweight, open-source proxy and load balancer written in Go that unifies management of multiple local LLM inference servers.
- New features in this release include support for Hugging Face Text Embeddings Inference (TEI) for embeddings, reranking, and classification, alongside a reworked dashboard with configurable columns and fleet statistics.
- The tool provides model-aware routing, load balancing (priority, round-robin, least-connections), and failover with health checks and circuit breakers across runtimes like Ollama, vLLM, SGLang, llama.cpp, LM Studio, and MLX.
- Deployment is designed to be simple, requiring only a single Go binary or Docker container without Kubernetes, databases, or external services.
- Unified APIs offer OpenAI-compatible and Anthropic-compatible interfaces, including translation, to support clients like Open WebUI and Claude Code.
