So if I download this and somehow there is no longer a way to access the model online this will still work? I'm just a bit confused because I read a couple things that made it seem like even though the model is running locally it still needs a connection for some reason, if that isn't true I'm sorry for the dumb question.

On first run it downloads the model, then you just run it locally

Jeeez, just copy the ollama's directory (something like .ollama) from user's dir to wherever. You can check and find the files inside. I find the published 14b really useful, it's ten GB that think and reason in english.

I assume you know you can transfer files from one pc to a other?
