oterm is a terminal-based chat client for LLMs, supporting Ollama, OpenAI, Anthropic, and any pydantic-ai-supported provider. It offers a rich TUI with markdown streaming, image attachments, thinking sections, token usage display, and MCP tool integration.
Use cases
- chat with ollama models from the terminal
- use openai or anthropic in a terminal ui
- run a tui chat client for local llms
- connect mcp tools to llm chats
- attach images to llm conversations in the terminal
- compare responses from multiple llm providers
- chat with local models without leaving the shell
When to choose
- you want a polished terminal UI for chatting with LLMs
- you use Ollama locally but also want cloud providers like OpenAI or Anthropic
- you need MCP tool support in a terminal chat client
- you prefer keyboard-driven, markdown-rendered chat over a browser
When to avoid
- you need a graphical or web-based chat interface
- you want programmatic API access to LLMs rather than interactive chat
- you need team collaboration or shared chat history features
