+### Large Language Model
+The `/v1/ml/chat/` endpoint is designed to handle chat-based interactions with the LLM model.
+It accepts a user prompt and streams responses back in real-time.
+The endpoint leverages FastAPI's asynchronous capabilities to efficiently manage multiple simultaneous requests,
+ensuring low latency and high throughput.
+
+FastAPI's async support is particularly beneficial for reducing I/O bottlenecks when connecting to the LLM model.
+By using asynchronous HTTP clients like `httpx`,
+the application can handle multiple I/O-bound tasks concurrently,
+such as sending requests to the LLM server and streaming responses back to the client.
+This approach minimizes idle time and optimizes resource utilization, making it ideal for high-performance applications.
+
+Install ollama and run the server
+```shell
+ollama run llama3.2
+```
