Tater – Tater v54

Tater v54 – “The Agent Awakens” 🚀

What it does: Tater is now a full‑blown AI agent that can plan, pick tools on the fly, and chain actions without you having to break tasks into single steps.

What’s new

• Agent‑driven workflow
• Multi‑step planning & automatic tool selection.
• One prompt → Tater plans, runs, returns the final answer.

• Smart tool discovery
• Loads only the tools it actually needs, cutting latency and token waste.

• Platform‑aware behavior
• Detects whether you’re on Home Assistant, Discord, WebUI, IRC, etc.
• Uses only available tools and warns when a needed one is missing.

• Agent Lab (BETA)
• Sandbox for experimental plugins or whole platforms that Tater can call.
• Core stays untouched; lab code lives separately.

• Admin‑only tool gating
• Lock powerful tools behind an admin user on Discord, Telegram, Matrix & IRC.
• No admin configured → the tool remains locked.

• Planner loop upgrades
• Handles multiple steps and tool calls in one go, with graceful fallback to a simple answer when appropriate.

• Background tool execution
• Long‑running tasks run asynchronously with progress updates; results appear automatically.

Why it matters

• Enables self‑diagnosis, self‑repair, and even self‑extension via agent‑created plugins.
• Turns Tater from a chatbot into a true automation system that can orchestrate multiple tools out of the box.

⚡ Ready to throw a complex, cross‑platform task at Tater? He’ll plan it, build any missing tool in Agent Lab (BETA), and deliver the result—no more half‑answers!

Ollama – v0.15.6

Ollama v0.15.6 🚀

Run LLMs locally with ease—now with a heads‑up on memory.

What’s new?

• Docs bump: The release notes now warn that parallel mode (`ollama run –parallel`) needs more RAM. If you’re scaling inference across multiple threads or GPUs, allocate extra memory to keep things smooth.

That’s the only change in this tag—no new features or bug fixes.

Pro tip:

• Double‑check your container/VM RAM settings before launching parallel jobs. A quick memory bump can save you from unexpected OOM crashes.

Happy tinkering! 🎉

Ollama – v0.15.5

Ollama v0.15.5 just dropped! 🎉

What’s fresh:

• Context‑limit flags for cloud models – New `–context-limit` (and related) CLI options let you cap token windows on hosted Ollama endpoints (OpenAI, Anthropic, etc.). Set it per model in `ollama.yaml` to avoid runaway memory use.
• Sharper error handling – Cloud‑model failures now return a clear “context limit exceeded” message instead of vague timeouts, plus retry logic for flaky network hiccups.
• Performance tweaks – ~10 % faster startup on popular cloud backends and slimmer CPU/GPU memory footprints in “lite” mode.
• Bug fixes & housekeeping – Fixed a race condition that could corrupt logs during parallel jobs, refreshed the OpenAPI schema with the new context params, and added docs with CLI/config examples.

🚀 Pro tip: Pin a sensible `–context-limit` (e.g., 4096) for large‑context LLMs in production to keep costs predictable and dodge OOM crashes.

Happy tinkering! 🎈

Ollama – v0.15.5-rc5

Ollama v0.15.5‑rc5 – fresh off the press! 🚀

What’s the buzz?

A lightweight framework for running LLMs (Llama 3, Gemma, Mistral, etc.) locally—now even smoother to spin up.

New goodies in this release

• Launch command overhaul

`ollama launch` is faster, logs cleaner, and handles missing model files gracefully.

• Sharper error messages

When a model can’t be found or the GPU runtime fails, you’ll get actionable hints instead of cryptic dumps.

• Cross‑platform tweaks

Minor fixes for macOS ARM builds & Linux containers—no more “permission denied” crashes during startup.

• Telemetry opt‑out flag

Add `–no-telemetry` to suppress anonymous usage reporting. Perfect for privacy‑first setups or CI pipelines.

• Dependency bump

Updated protobuf & ggml libraries shave ~5 % off memory overhead for large models.

• CLI consistency fixes

`ollama run`, `ollama serve`, and `ollama pull` now share the same flag syntax (`–model`, `–port`, etc.), making scripting a breeze.

> Tip: When automating model serving, sprinkle in `–no-telemetry` to keep your logs tidy and respect privacy.

That’s it—speedier launches, clearer feedback, and a handful of quality‑of‑life tweaks for all you local‑LLM tinkers. Happy experimenting! 🎉

Ollama – v0.15.5-rc4: ollamarunner: Fix off by one error with numPredict

Ollama — v0.15.5‑rc4 (ollamarunner) 🎉

What it does: ollamarunner is the lightweight engine that powers token generation and streaming for Ollama’s local LLMs.

What’s new

• Fixed off‑by‑one bug in `numPredict`
• Previously, setting `numPredict` returned one fewer token than requested and showed the wrong limit in stats.
• The check now runs at the actual prediction step, so you get exactly the number of tokens you ask for, and the stats reflect it accurately.

• Improved batch handling
• Tightened logic around batch termination when hitting token limits.
• Prevents premature batch stops when `numPredict` isn’t used, leading to smoother generation runs.

Why it matters

• Predictable output length → simplifies prompt engineering and downstream processing.
• Accurate stats → better monitoring of usage quotas and performance metrics.

That’s the scoop on this RC—stay tuned for the next stable release! 🚀
