Hi Lawrence,

I missed the earlier thread about this - I'm also interested in =
connecting to Ollama. Are you able to implement the streaming API where =
you get partial results immediately using Drakma? It is not clear to me =
if only plain HTTP is needed or if some kind of web socket =
implementation is required.

Thanks,

John DeSoi, Ph.D.
