Ollama – v0.18.2-rc1: launch: fix openclaw not picking up newly selected model (#14943)

🚨 Ollama v0.18.2-rc1 is live! 🚨

Quick, focused fix in this release candidate β€” perfect for keeping your local LLM workflows smooth and reliable.

πŸ” What’s New?

βœ… Fixed `openclaw` model-switching bug β€” previously, if you changed the active model mid-session without restarting, `openclaw` would keep using the old (stale) model. Now it correctly picks up the new selection instantly!

πŸ’‘ Why You’ll Care:

  • πŸ”„ Makes dynamic model switching (e.g., testing Llama 3 vs. DeepSeek-R1) way more reliable in dev/test loops
  • πŸ§ͺ Critical for tooling and integrations that rely on runtime model changes
  • ⚑ Clean, minimal change β€” no side effects or breaking changes

πŸ‘‰ Grab the RC and give it a spin before final `v0.18.2` drops!
