Phi-4 now available locally through Ollama

After announcing Phi-4 last month, it is now also available on Ollama to use locally. Phi-4 is a "small" language model that performs at the same level or even better than some of the larger language models.

The latest incarnation in Microsoft's Phi series, took a big step forward in tasks requiring complex reasoning and problem solving, making it a good candidate to use in a (multi-)agent solution.

One area where the model is particularly good is in math.It outperformed larger models in the November 2024 AMC competitions, proving its real-world application potential.

 

Time to download the model through Ollama and give it a try:

ollama pull phi4

A single pod produces about 11 Kg CO2eq per year( here the calculation). Reason enough to give it a try! Installing kube-green in your cluster The easiest way to install the operator in your cluster is through kubectl. We first need to install a cert-manager: kubectl apply -f https://github.com/cert-manager/cert-manager/releases/download/v1.14.5/cert-manager.yaml Remark: Wait a minute before you continue as it can take some time before the cert-manager is up & running inside your cluster. Now we can install the kube-green operator: kubectl apply -f https://github.com/kube-green/kube-green/releases/latest/download/kube-green.yaml Now in the namespace where we want t...
