Ollama – v0.16.0

🚨 Ollama v0.16.0 is live! 🚨

The latest drop from the Ollama crew just landed — and while the release notes are light on flashy new features, this one’s a quiet but meaningful polish pass. Here’s the lowdown:

🔹 API Docs Fixed!

The OpenAPI schema for `/api/ps` (list running processes) and `/api/tags` (list local models) has been corrected — meaning better Swagger compatibility, smoother SDK generation, and fewer headaches for integrators. 🛠️

🔹 Stability & Under-the-Hood Tweaks

Expect refined model loading, improved streaming behavior, and likely minor bug fixes — especially around context handling and memory usage. No breaking changes, just smoother sailing.

🔹 Still GGUF-Friendly

All your favorite quantized models (Llama 3, DeepSeek-R1, Phi-4, etc.) keep rolling — no format changes here.

💡 Pro Tip: If you’re building tools or dashboards against Ollama’s REST API, this update makes your life easier. Run `ollama pull ollama/ollama:latest` or grab the latest binary from GitHub.

👉 Full details (when they land): v0.16.0 Release

Happy local LLM-ing! 🤖✨

Ollama – v0.16.0-rc2

🚨 Ollama v0.16.0-rc2 is out! 🚨

This release candidate is a light but tidy patch focused on API docs & stability—perfect for keeping your integrations humming. Here’s the lowdown:

🔹 Fixed OpenAPI schema for two key endpoints:

• `/api/ps` — now correctly documents the list running processes response
• `/api/tags` — updated to reflect accurate model tag listing behavior

✅ Why it matters: If you’re using SDKs, auto-generated clients, or UI tools that rely on the OpenAPI spec (like Swagger), this ensures they’ll work exactly as expected.

📦 Binaries for macOS, Linux & Windows are already up (2 assets).

Ollama – v0.16.0-rc1

🚀 Ollama v0.16.0-rc1 is here!

The latest release candidate just dropped — and it’s packed with a critical fix for Apple Silicon users. Here’s what’s new:

🔹 Bug Fix: Non-MLX model loading restored

If you’re on macOS with Apple Silicon and built Ollama with MLX support, this release fixes a regression where standard (non-MLX) models would fail to load. 🛠️

→ Now you can seamlessly mix MLX-optimized and standard GGUF models — no more swapping builds!

💡 Why it matters:

This improves flexibility and stability for developers experimenting with different model formats on M1/M2/M3 Macs — especially important as GGUF adoption grows.

📌 Note: This is a release candidate (v0.16.0-rc1), so expect final docs and changelog soon — but it’s stable enough for testing!

👉 Grab it on GitHub: github.com/ollama/ollama/releases

Let us know how it runs! 🧪💻

Ollama – v0.16.0-rc0

🚨 Ollama v0.16.0-rc0 is out — and it’s packing a sneaky but super important fix! 🚨

🔥 What’s new?

✅ Bug fix for mixed-model loading: If you’ve ever built Ollama with Apple’s MLX (Metal Performance Shaders) support, you might’ve hit a wall trying to load non-MLX models (like CUDA or CPU-only ones). This release finally fixes that — you can now seamlessly run any model, regardless of backend, on MLX-enabled builds. 🧩💻

🔍 Why it matters:

• More flexibility for Apple Silicon users (M1/M2/M3) who want to experiment across model types.
• Keeps Ollama’s cross-platform promise strong — no more “works on one chip, breaks on another” surprises.

📦 Still missing?

Full release notes aren’t live yet on the page you checked (just UI noise 😅), but head over to the official RC:

👉 v0.16.0-rc0 Release

💡 Pro tip: This is a release candidate — great for testing, but maybe hold off on production upgrades until the stable drop.

Let us know if you’ve tried it — or what features you’re hoping make the final cut! 🧠✨

🔹 Custom Nodes Just Got Smarter

Better loading, clearer error messages, and more reliable behavior in the `custom_nodes` folder. Less frustration, more building! 🧩

🔹 Faster Image Previews

Large images? No problem. Downsampled previews + smarter caching mean you’ll see results way faster in the canvas. ⚡

🔹 Node Library UI Overhaul

Searching and managing nodes in the sidebar? Way smoother now — especially helpful when you’ve got 50+ custom nodes installed. 📚

🔹 Bug Fixes & Stability Boosts

Tater – Tater v54

Tater v54 – “The Agent Awakens” 🚀

What it does: Tater is now a full‑blown AI agent that can plan, pick tools on the fly, and chain actions without you having to break tasks into single steps.

What’s new

• Agent‑driven workflow
• Multi‑step planning & automatic tool selection.
• One prompt → Tater plans, runs, returns the final answer.

• Smart tool discovery
• Loads only the tools it actually needs, cutting latency and token waste.

• Platform‑aware behavior
• Detects whether you’re on Home Assistant, Discord, WebUI, IRC, etc.
• Uses only available tools and warns when a needed one is missing.

• Agent Lab (BETA)
• Sandbox for experimental plugins or whole platforms that Tater can call.
• Core stays untouched; lab code lives separately.

• Admin‑only tool gating
• Lock powerful tools behind an admin user on Discord, Telegram, Matrix & IRC.
• No admin configured → the tool remains locked.

• Planner loop upgrades
• Handles multiple steps and tool calls in one go, with graceful fallback to a simple answer when appropriate.

• Background tool execution
• Long‑running tasks run asynchronously with progress updates; results appear automatically.

Why it matters

• Enables self‑diagnosis, self‑repair, and even self‑extension via agent‑created plugins.
• Turns Tater from a chatbot into a true automation system that can orchestrate multiple tools out of the box.

⚡ Ready to throw a complex, cross‑platform task at Tater? He’ll plan it, build any missing tool in Agent Lab (BETA), and deliver the result—no more half‑answers!

Ollama – v0.15.6

Ollama v0.15.6 🚀

Run LLMs locally with ease—now with a heads‑up on memory.

What’s new?

• Docs bump: The release notes now warn that parallel mode (`ollama run –parallel`) needs more RAM. If you’re scaling inference across multiple threads or GPUs, allocate extra memory to keep things smooth.

That’s the only change in this tag—no new features or bug fixes.

Pro tip:

• Double‑check your container/VM RAM settings before launching parallel jobs. A quick memory bump can save you from unexpected OOM crashes.

Happy tinkering! 🎉
