Key Points

  • Performance and reliability updates were made for Gemma 4, including enabling flash attention on compatible GPUs and adding tool-call repair for the Gemma 4 model family.
  • The `ollama launch openclaw` workflow was extended to detect curl-based OpenCode installs from `~/.opencode/bin`.
  • A fix was applied to the `/save` command to handle models with safetensors-based architectures more correctly.
  • The release also acknowledges a new first-time contributor to the Ollama project through a referenced pull request.
