NoLlama

NoLlama is a terminal-based interface for interacting with Google's Gemini API directly from your terminal. Inspired by Ollama, NoLlama provides a streamlined experience for chatting with Gemini models like Gemini 2.0 Flash, Gemini 2.5 Flash Preview, and Gemini 2.5 Pro Preview, etc. Ollama, Groq and OpenRouter support will be added soon.

NoLlama offers a neat terminal interface for powerful language models that aren't easily available for local execution, complete with colorful markdown rendering, multiple model choices, and efficient memory usage.
