Ollama – v0.16.0

🚨 Ollama v0.16.0 is live! 🚨

The latest drop from the Ollama crew just landed — and while the release notes are light on flashy new features, this one’s a quiet but meaningful polish pass. Here’s the lowdown:

🔹 API Docs Fixed!

The OpenAPI schema for `/api/ps` (list running processes) and `/api/tags` (list local models) has been corrected — meaning better Swagger compatibility, smoother SDK generation, and fewer headaches for integrators. 🛠️

🔹 Stability & Under-the-Hood Tweaks

Expect refined model loading, improved streaming behavior, and likely minor bug fixes — especially around context handling and memory usage. No breaking changes, just smoother sailing.

🔹 Still GGUF-Friendly

All your favorite quantized models (Llama 3, DeepSeek-R1, Phi-4, etc.) keep rolling — no format changes here.

💡 Pro Tip: If you’re building tools or dashboards against Ollama’s REST API, this update makes your life easier. Run `ollama pull ollama/ollama:latest` or grab the latest binary from GitHub.

👉 Full details (when they land): v0.16.0 Release

Happy local LLM-ing! 🤖✨

Ollama – v0.16.0-rc2

🚨 Ollama v0.16.0-rc2 is out! 🚨

This release candidate is a light but tidy patch focused on API docs & stability—perfect for keeping your integrations humming. Here’s the lowdown:

🔹 Fixed OpenAPI schema for two key endpoints:

• `/api/ps` — now correctly documents the list running processes response
• `/api/tags` — updated to reflect accurate model tag listing behavior

✅ Why it matters: If you’re using SDKs, auto-generated clients, or UI tools that rely on the OpenAPI spec (like Swagger), this ensures they’ll work exactly as expected.

📦 Binaries for macOS, Linux & Windows are already up (2 assets).

Ollama – v0.16.0-rc1

🚀 Ollama v0.16.0-rc1 is here!

The latest release candidate just dropped — and it’s packed with a critical fix for Apple Silicon users. Here’s what’s new:

🔹 Bug Fix: Non-MLX model loading restored

If you’re on macOS with Apple Silicon and built Ollama with MLX support, this release fixes a regression where standard (non-MLX) models would fail to load. 🛠️

→ Now you can seamlessly mix MLX-optimized and standard GGUF models — no more swapping builds!

💡 Why it matters:

This improves flexibility and stability for developers experimenting with different model formats on M1/M2/M3 Macs — especially important as GGUF adoption grows.

📌 Note: This is a release candidate (v0.16.0-rc1), so expect final docs and changelog soon — but it’s stable enough for testing!

👉 Grab it on GitHub: github.com/ollama/ollama/releases

Let us know how it runs! 🧪💻

Ollama – v0.16.0-rc0

🚨 Ollama v0.16.0-rc0 is out — and it’s packing a sneaky but super important fix! 🚨

🔥 What’s new?

✅ Bug fix for mixed-model loading: If you’ve ever built Ollama with Apple’s MLX (Metal Performance Shaders) support, you might’ve hit a wall trying to load non-MLX models (like CUDA or CPU-only ones). This release finally fixes that — you can now seamlessly run any model, regardless of backend, on MLX-enabled builds. 🧩💻

🔍 Why it matters:

• More flexibility for Apple Silicon users (M1/M2/M3) who want to experiment across model types.
• Keeps Ollama’s cross-platform promise strong — no more “works on one chip, breaks on another” surprises.

📦 Still missing?

Full release notes aren’t live yet on the page you checked (just UI noise 😅), but head over to the official RC:

👉 v0.16.0-rc0 Release

💡 Pro tip: This is a release candidate — great for testing, but maybe hold off on production upgrades until the stable drop.

Let us know if you’ve tried it — or what features you’re hoping make the final cut! 🧠✨

Large images? No problem. Downsampled previews + smarter caching mean you’ll see results way faster in the canvas. ⚡

🔹 Node Library UI Overhaul

Searching and managing nodes in the sidebar? Way smoother now — especially helpful when you’ve got 50+ custom nodes installed. 📚

🔹 Bug Fixes & Stability Boosts

Crashes, memory leaks, and workflow save issues? Fixed or significantly improved across Windows/macOS/Linux. 🛠️
