Installation¶

Note

oterm works with multiple LLM providers — local and hosted. For local models, point it at Ollama, vLLM, LM Studio, llama.cpp, or any OpenAI-compatible runner. For hosted providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, Groq, …), set the relevant API key. See Providers and API keys and the openaiCompatible config block.
