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
