Ollama v0.25.0-rc0 🚀

If you’re running LLMs locally, you know Ollama is the go-to for getting models like Llama 3 and DeepSeek-R1 up and running with zero friction. This new release candidate is all about behind-the-scenes efficiency and making the engine run smoother!

The big focus in this update is performance optimization for the development pipeline:

  • Faster Release Builds: The CI (Continuous Integration) process has been overhauled to speed up official releases, meaning updates hit your machine sooner.
  • Optimized Linux Steps: The build process for Linux has been deduplicated and streamlined for a cleaner installation flow.
  • Snappier Local Dev: These optimizations are designed to help speed up local developer builds, making it easier for the community to tinker and contribute 🛠️

Whether you’re a dev building custom tools or just a hobbyist running models on your workstation, this update keeps the momentum moving fast!
