About Ollama
Ollama turns into a launcher for agentic coding tools between llama.cpp and MLX upkeep
Ollama's recent releases split between routine engine maintenance and a quieter, more interesting move: becoming the local runtime that installs and manages agentic coding tools. Stable builds now auto-install Claude Code and opencode, detect Codex model drift, and add thinking-capability detection, alongside continuous llama.cpp and MLX updates and GPU-offload tuning. Most of the newest activity is release-candidate churn rather than user-facing change.
