Responsible Use Policy

For best results when using publicly available Ollama servers, consider following these practical guidelines.

Limit Request Frequency

Be mindful about how often you send requests to public servers. A good rule of thumb is to limit requests to what you actually need and avoid rapid, repeated calls that could overwhelm the system. If you need to process large amounts of data, consider spacing out your requests or batching them appropriately. This helps ensure the server remains responsive for other users.

Respect Server Capacity

Each server has its own capacity limits based on its hardware and configuration. Before using a server for resource-intensive tasks, check if it's suitable for your needs. Consider the complexity and size of your requests, and be prepared to adapt if you notice performance issues. These are shared resources with limited capacity.

Monitor Your Usage

Keep track of how you're using public servers and be aware of your impact. Simple logging of your request patterns can help identify if you're placing too much demand on a service. If you notice slow responses or errors, consider reducing your usage temporarily. Being proactive about monitoring helps prevent issues for yourself and others.

Data Privacy Awareness

Be careful about the information you send to public servers. Avoid sharing sensitive personal data, confidential information, or content that shouldn't be processed by third-party systems. Remember that publicly available servers typically don't offer the same privacy guarantees as dedicated commercial services.

Benefits of Responsible Usage

Using public servers responsibly has practical benefits. It helps maintain server stability and availability for everyone who needs to access them. Responsible usage reduces the likelihood of servers implementing strict rate limits or going offline due to excessive demand. Good practices ensure these resources remain useful and accessible.
