Ollama – v0.14.0-rc2

Hey AI tinkerers! 🚀 Ollama just dropped v0.14.0-rc2 — small but mighty!

🔹 Removed an unused `COPY` command from the Dockerfile (#13664) — cleaner builds, less bloat, more speed.

🔹 Same slick local LLM experience you love — just leaner and meaner.

No new models, no UI tweaks… just pure developer hygiene. Perfect if you like your containers tight and your prompts crisp.

Big v0.14.0 is rumored to be coming soon… 🤫 #Ollama #LocalLLMs #DevTools

Ollama – v0.14.0-rc1

Ollama v0.14.0-rc1 just dropped — and it’s generating magic 🖼️🚀

Meet z-image: Ollama’s first foray into local AI image generation. Now you can type `ollama generate z-image “a cat in a spacesuit”` and watch your terminal turn text into visuals — all offline, all on your machine. No cloud. No waiting. Just pure local AI vibes.

This is experimental (yes, bugs ahead!), but it’s huge: Ollama’s going multimodal. Text + images — all from your CLI or API, just like LLMs.

GGUF? Still supported. Custom models? Yep. Now with pixels.

Docs coming soon — but if you’re brave, go ahead and test it. Train your own z-image models. Make a robot squirrel in a trench coat. The future’s local now. 🐱💻

Ollama – v0.14.0-rc0: Add experimental MLX backend and engine with imagegen support (#13648)

Ollama v0.14.0-rc0 just landed — and Apple Silicon fans, this one’s for you 🍏💥

Say hello to experimental MLX backend support — run LLMs natively on M-series chips without CUDA or PyTorch overhead. Faster, leaner, and totally Apple-native.

✨ What’s new?

• 🖼️ Image generation — yes, you can now generate images directly via Ollama (early but wildly cool)
• 🛠️ Built-in build toggles: `cmake –preset MLX` and `go build -tags mlx .` for easy custom compiles
• 🍎 Full macOS support — x86 & ARM builds ready, CPU-only for now (GPU accel coming soon!)
• 📚 Cleaner docs + improved tokenizer guides — because nobody likes cryptic configs

This is still a release candidate, so expect bugs… but if you’re on Mac and want to skip the bloat? Now’s your chance. Break it, tweak it, report it — we’re all in this together 🚀

Text Generation Webui – v3.23

✨ Chat UI got a glow-up! Tables and dividers now look clean, crisp, and way easier to read—perfect for scrolling through long model outputs without eye strain.

🔧 Bug fixes that actually matter:

• Models with `eos_token` disabled? No more crashes! Huge props to @jin-eld 🙌
• Symbolic link issues in `llama-cpp-binaries` fixed—non-portable installs breathe easier now.

🚀 Backend power-up:

• `llama.cpp` updated to latest commit (`55abc39`) → faster, smoother inference
• `bitsandbytes` bumped to 0.49 → better quantization, fewer OOMs, more stable loads

📦 PORTABLE BUILDS ARE LIVE!

Download. Unzip. Run. No install needed.

• NVIDIA? → `cuda12.4`
• AMD/Intel GPU? → `vulkan`
• CPU-only? → `cpu`
• Mac Apple Silicon? → `macos-arm64`

💾 Updating? Just grab the new zip, unzip, and drop your old `user_data` folder in. All your models, settings, themes—still there. Zero reconfiguring.

Go play. No setup. Just pure LLM magic. 🚀
