Ollama CEO: don't slow open models — the real risk is platforms shipping your data abroad
ollama · x · 2026-09-14
Ollama CEO jmorgan pushes back on calls to slow down AI that target open models, arguing prohibition is the wrong risk.
His key points:
- Open models democratize AI and make it personal — that value must be preserved.
- The more immediate risk: multiple popular platforms have recently been found quietly sending user data to foreign jurisdictions, or selling/training on it, and this is going mainstream.
He urges open-model vendors to act in users' best interest: zero data retention or training, and hosting in the user's region. This has been Ollama's stated commitment.
