Ollama – v0.18.2: launch: fix openclaw not picking up newly selected model (#14943)

🚨 Ollama v0.18.2 is live! 🚨

This patch fixes a sneaky bug in OpenCLaW (Ollama’s model-launching engine) where switching models mid-session would not actually switch the active model — yikes! 😅

🔧 What’s fixed?

  • Previously: Changing the primary model in GUI/CLI wouldn’t update active sessions — you’d keep running the old model, even if it looked like you’d switched.
  • Now: Sessions properly refresh when the model changes — no more stale model confusion! ✅

🎯 Why it matters:

  • Perfect for devs testing multiple models in one session (e.g., comparing Llama 3 vs. DeepSeek).
  • Critical for demos or workflows where model switching is part of the flow — reliability restored!
