Ollama – v0.14.3-rc1: MLX – dynamic loading of mlx-c (#13735)
🚀 Ollama v0.14.3-rc1 just dropped — and it’s a game-changer for Mac & Linux tinkerers!
MLX is now dynamically loaded via `dlopen` — meaning:
✅ Ollama starts even if MLX isn’t installed
✅ Swap MLX paths on the fly (perfect for custom builds or multi-env setups)
✅ Graceful fallbacks — no more crashing if dependencies are missing
No more “why won’t it start?!” headaches. Just pure, flexible local LLM power.
Perfect if you’re running M-series Macs or Linux with custom CUDA/MLX builds.
Tests fixed, reviews addressed — clean, stable, and ready for your next experiment.
Try it out. If MLX isn’t there? Ollama just shrugs… and keeps going. 😎
