Purpose: Plan an Ollama setup on Mac mini, including memory, model storage, remote access, startup behavior and compatible hardware.
Direct answer: Ollama makes local models accessible through a command-line workflow and local API. A reliable Mac mini setup still requires a sensible model choice, storage plan, remote-access policy and enough memory headroom for the intended context and applications.
