Ollama – v0.20.4-rc0

Ollama v0.20.4-rc0 is officially hitting the radar! ๐Ÿš€

If you’re looking to run powerful LLMs like Llama 3, DeepSeek-R1, or Mistral locally without the headache, Ollama is the ultimate toolkit. It handles everything from model downloading to providing a REST API for your own custom builds, making local AI experimentation incredibly smooth across macOS, Windows, and Linux.

This latest Release Candidate (rc0) is all about tightening up the experience and ensuring stability before the full rollout. Hereโ€™s whatโ€™s under the hood:

  • Path Cleanup: Experimental paths have been scrubbed to provide a much more predictable environment for your local setups.
  • Enhanced Model Management: Fixed bugs within the “create from existing” functionality, making it easier to build and manage custom model variations.

Since this is an rc0 release, it’s the perfect time for us tinkerers to jump in, test these refinements, and make sure everything plays nice with our local workflows! ๐Ÿ› ๏ธ
