Ollama – v0.20.0-rc1: convert: support new Gemma4 audio_tower tensor naming (#15221)

๐Ÿšจ Ollama v0.20.0-rc1 is live! ๐Ÿšจ

Hey AI tinkerers โ€” big news for multimodal & audio model fans!

๐Ÿ”น New in this RC: The `convert` tool now supports the updated tensor naming convention for Gemma 4โ€™s `audio_tower` (PR #15221).

๐ŸŽฏ Why this rocks:

  • Fixes tensor-mismatch errors when converting or fine-tuning Gemma 4 audio models (think speech-to-text, multimodal ASR, etc.).
  • Keeps Ollama in lockstep with the latest Hugging Face model formats โ€” no more manual tensor renaming hacks!
  • Makes it way smoother to run Gemma 4โ€™s audio capabilities locally ๐ŸŽ™๏ธโžก๏ธ๐Ÿง 

๐Ÿ“ฆ Note: This is a release candidate โ€” stable enough to test, but expect polish & tweaks before final v0.20.0 drops.

Try it out and let us know how your audio conversions go! ๐Ÿงช๐ŸŽง
