Ollama – v0.15.5-rc5
Ollama v0.15.5‑rc5 – fresh off the press! 🚀
What’s the buzz?
A lightweight framework for running LLMs (Llama 3, Gemma, Mistral, etc.) locally—now even smoother to spin up.
New goodies in this release
- Launch command overhaul
`ollama launch` is faster, logs cleaner, and handles missing model files gracefully.
- Sharper error messages
When a model can’t be found or the GPU runtime fails, you’ll get actionable hints instead of cryptic dumps.
- Cross‑platform tweaks
Minor fixes for macOS ARM builds & Linux containers—no more “permission denied” crashes during startup.
- Telemetry opt‑out flag
Add `–no-telemetry` to suppress anonymous usage reporting. Perfect for privacy‑first setups or CI pipelines.
- Dependency bump
Updated protobuf & ggml libraries shave ~5 % off memory overhead for large models.
- CLI consistency fixes
`ollama run`, `ollama serve`, and `ollama pull` now share the same flag syntax (`–model`, `–port`, etc.), making scripting a breeze.
> Tip: When automating model serving, sprinkle in `–no-telemetry` to keep your logs tidy and respect privacy.
That’s it—speedier launches, clearer feedback, and a handful of quality‑of‑life tweaks for all you local‑LLM tinkers. Happy experimenting! 🎉
