Trending in 2026: local inference (for example via Ollama or similar) is standard for offline dev, eval sets, and privacy-sensitive experiments. Docker Compose wires APIs, vector DBs, and model runners together.
Profiles
Use Compose profiles so developers without GPUs skip heavy services. Document minimum hardware.
Practical takeaway
Never commit model weights. Mount volumes explicitly. Read Docker and your inference project’s docs for current image names and ports.
