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!
