8. Installing Ramalama and running various models
I was asked to explore this issue and answer why ramalama makes AI boring. I used Fedora virtual machine for this task. I then displayed the version of ramalama installed. I used Ollama and huggingface as my main models as attempts to use granite IBM showed limited space on my local machine.
I run the models with a simple prompt "What are te Four Foundations of the Fedora project?" (the typo was intentional and was used accross both models to test models robustness to noisy texts.
