Key Points

  • Ollama v0.18.3 includes documentation updates for Claude Code and OpenClaw to support web search and non-interactive mode.
  • The launcher component (cmd/launch) now avoids redundant configuration writes when the selected model has not changed.
  • The MLX runner improves performance by sharing the KV cache across conversations that share common prefixes.
  • The desktop app is fixed to prevent getting stuck loading when OLLAMA_HOST is set to an unspecified bind address.
  • Parsing reliability is improved via more robust XML tool repair, reducing failures when tool-related XML is malformed.
