Key Points

  • v0.18.3 includes documentation updates for Claude Code and OpenCrawI to improve web search and non-interactive usage modes.
  • The launcher command was optimized to skip redundant configuration writes when the selected model has not changed.
  • mlxrunner gained a performance improvement by sharing the KV cache across conversations that share common prefixes.
  • The desktop application was fixed to prevent it from getting stuck loading when OLLAMA_HOST is set to an unspecified bind address.
  • The release also adds more robust XML tool parsing with automatic repair behavior.
