AI Models

LingoLark can fill English glosses with local AI. Choose the model path that matches how much setup you want and what your browser already supports.

Model options

Ollama

Use Ollama when you want the most predictable local setup. You install Ollama on your machine, pull the model LingoLark expects, and the extension calls the local server at http://127.0.0.1:11434.

Chrome Nano

Use Chrome Nano when Chrome already has Gemini Nano available on your device. This route is browser-managed and does not use Ollama, but today it depends on Chrome already having the model ready.

Which should I choose?

If you want...	Start with
A setup you can install and verify yourself	Ollama
Chrome-managed on-device AI with little extension setup	Chrome Nano
No automatic AI glosses	Manual entry

You can switch translation models from the LingoLark toolbar popup.
