The catch is ollama cloud is likely to increase prices and/or decrease usage limit levels soon. Free tier has more restrictions than their $20/mo tier. They claim to not store anything (https://ollama.com/cloud) but you'll have to clarify what you mean by "private" (your model likely runs on shared hardware with other users).
I agree. "Free" usage could mean tradeoff. But for side-project and experiments, to accesss open source model like gpt-oss, as my machine can not run, I think I will accept it.
My experience with the free tier and qwen3-coder cloud is the hourly limit gets you about 250k tokens input and then your usage is paused till the hour is up. Enough to try something very small.
Yeah, Ollama recently announces Cloud, as I think it still in beta and free, usage is generously too, enough to build and hack on. But I'm not sure about data training, I don't see the settings to turn this off..
