Ollama – v0.18.0

Ollama – v0.18.0

🚨 Ollama v0.18.0 is live! 🚨

The latest drop brings a slick backend upgrade β€” no flashy new features yet, but some important under-the-hood polish:

πŸ”Ή Zstandard (`zstd`) request decompression now works in the cloud passthrough middleware β€” meaning smoother communication with proxies, CDNs, or cloud services that compress HTTP payloads.

πŸ”Ή Fixes potential issues where compressed API requests (especially large ones) might’ve failed or timed out.

πŸ”Ή A quiet but meaningful win for reliability in production-like setups β€” think: self-hosted gateways, reverse proxies (like NGINX), or cloud load balancers.

πŸ’‘ Pro tip: If you’re using Ollama behind a proxy or sending big payloads via the API, this one’s for you. Run `ollama pull` to upgrade and test it out!

πŸ”— Release on GitHub β€” fingers crossed the notes load this time πŸ˜‰
