Ollama – v0.18.4-rc0

πŸš€ Ollama v0.18.4-rc0 is here!

A new release candidate just dropped β€” and while the GitHub release notes are still a bit mysteriously missing (πŸ‘€), we’ve got one confirmed tweak:

βœ… `launch: hide vs code (#15076)`

β†’ The launcher now hides the VS Code window when spinning up models or background tasks. Less UI clutter, more focus β€” perfect for devs who just want the model running, not an editor popping up uninvited. πŸ˜…

πŸ” What’s still unknown (yet!):

  • Full bug fixes & performance tweaks
  • New models or quantization support (e.g., GGUF updates?)
  • Platform-specific improvements (macOS, Windows, Linux)

πŸ“Œ Pro move: Grab the RC and give it a spin β€” but hold off on production upgrades until the full `v0.18.4` lands with the complete changelog.
