🤖 Recommended Ollama Models (1–2 GB)

When using --use-ollama, you can choose a local model for API explanations. Here are lightweight models that run well (1–2 GB range):

Model	Size	Why Use It
llama3.2:1b	~1.3GB	Fast, nimble, and great for generating clear API explanations (recommended)
gemma2:2b	~1.6GB	Slightly larger, richer outputs, good balance of quality and size
dolphin-phi	~1.6GB	Alternative small model with solid reasoning ability
orca-mini	~1.9GB	Bigger (3B params) but still under 2GB; more context-aware
moondream2	~0.8GB	Ultra-light, very fast, but less detailed

👉 Recommended Default: llama3.2:1b – best speed + clarity tradeoff.

Example:

Apimatic --src . --use-ollama --model llama3.2:1b
