Ollama – v0.18.3: api/show: overwrite basename for copilot chat (#15062)
🚀 Ollama v0.18.3 is live!
This patch fixes a subtle but important quirk in how Ollama interacts with GitHub Copilot Chat — specifically around model naming.
🔹 What’s fixed?
The `/api/show` endpoint now returns `req.Model` (the actual model name from `/api/tags`) instead of the generic `general.basename`.
✅ Why you’ll love this:
- No more confusing name collisions when multiple models share the same basename.
- Copilot Chat now displays exactly the model name you expect — making selection cleaner and more intuitive.
- Better alignment with how Ollama itself labels models elsewhere.
It’s a small but mighty polish update — perfect for Copilot users who want seamless, accurate model switching. 🛠️✨
