Ollama – v0.13.1-rc0

🚀 Ollama v0.13.1-rc0 just dropped — and it’s a quiet win for local LLM tinkerers!

The biggest upgrade? 📚 `ollama help` now opens the official docs instead of GitHub. No more scrolling through repos — instant access to clear, curated guides.

Under the hood:

• Smoother CLI flow (less friction, more typing)
• Minor bug fixes & polish

This is a release candidate — stable for testing, perfect if you’re running Llama 3, DeepSeek-R1, or GGUF models locally.

Full v0.13.1 is coming soon — but this? It’s already a quality-of-life win. 🛠️✨

ComfyUI – v0.3.71

ComfyUI v0.3.71 is live — quiet release, massive quality-of-life wins! 🎨✨

• Smarter error messages — No more cryptic crashes. Now you’ll know why that node blew up.
• Smoother canvas — Panning and zooming feel buttery, even with 50+ node workflows.
• Custom nodes? Fixed. — Third-party nodes won’t break on reload anymore. Keep your favorite tools alive!
• Cleaner UI — Tiny tweaks to labels and connections — looks sharper, feels more polished.

And hey — Python 3.11+ is now recommended. If you’re still on 3.9, it’s time to upgrade for speed + stability.

No flashy new nodes… but everything just works better. Update, reload your workflows, and keep building. 💪
