One alias in
front of Ollama.
Your application calls a Relays alias. Relays owns the connection to your Ollama endpoint, applies the route policy, and hands back the provider response in the shape your SDK expects.

The route.
Relays’ Ollama preset targets the local OpenAI-compatible endpoint with no upstream authentication by default. Override the registry when your deployment uses a remote host or credential.
- Your applicationSends the OpenAI-compatible request it already sends.
- RelaysHolds the key, picks the candidate, writes the receipt.
- OllamaReceives the call on its own base URL.
Who can cover
for Ollama.
Ollama can be a local-first or fallback candidate in an explicit Chat Completions route, provided the request is compatible with the selected model and endpoint.

Models at the edge.
Model IDs sit behind a Relays alias, so a catalogue change at Ollama never reaches your code.
No Ollama catalogue is published on this page. Route candidates are still set by model ID in your route configuration.
Measured,
and not yet.
Availability comes from Ollama. Latency, error rate, and cost per successful request come from your own traffic, so Relays leaves them empty until requests run.
- Upstream status
No public feed
Ollama does not publish a status feed Relays can read, so no availability is reported here.
- Relays measurements
No sample yet
Time to first token, error rate, and cost per successful request are read from requests that ran through Relays. This route has none, so there is nothing to plot.
Ask for an API key
Every route carries a policy.
A route is a list of candidates, a budget, and a record of what happened. You set all three before any traffic runs.
- Candidates
- Fallbacks stay inside the contract: only connections on a shared line can take the call. How a route is chosen
- Ceiling
- An alert threshold and a stop threshold for this route, checked before the call goes upstream.
- Receipt
- Every call records the alias, the candidates tried, each status, tokens in and out, and the estimated cost. Read a route receipt
One endpoint is enough to start.
Keep the client you already wrote. Bring us the workload and we will map the first Ollama route with you.
