If you have a long running create, and start another ollama server with the
same model dir, the GC algorithm deletes the pending blobs and breaks the
create. This adds a 1h grace period to avoid deleting in-flight creation
operations.
Following up on #15560, this change now has e2b/e4b render differently
from 26b/31b.
For backwards compatibility, we take the existing renderer name `gemma4`
and make it do dynamic resolution based on the model name/size, but the
intended use is for the models to be republished with the renderer
variant specified explicitly: `gemma4-small` or `gemma4-large`.
This change fixes two issues with Modelfiles:
1. If a user uses `ollama show --modelfile` to show a safetensors based
model, the Model would leave the "FROM" field blank which won't allow
a user to recreate the model. This change adds the model's current
canonical short name to the FROM field.
2. If a user uses the `/save` command in the CLI any messages which were
saved in a previous model wouldn't get saved (only the set of messages
from the current session).
* create: Clean up experimental paths
This cleans up the experimental features, and adds both unit and integration test coverage to verify no regressions.
* create: preserve config and layer names when creating from safetensors models
When creating a model FROM an existing safetensors model, ModelFormat,
Capabilities, and layer Name fields were lost. ModelFormat stayed empty
because it's only set from GGML layers (which safetensors models lack),
and layer names weren't copied in parseFromModel. This caused derived
models to fail loading ("config.json not found in manifest").
* review comments
* bench: add prompt calibration, context size flag, and NumCtx reporting
Add --num-ctx flag to set context size, and report NumCtx in model info
header. Calibrate tokens-per-word ratio during warmup using actual
tokenization metrics from the model, replacing the fixed 1.3 heuristic.
This produces more accurate prompt token counts for --prompt-tokens.
Also add fetchContextLength() to query running model context via /api/ps.
* integration: improve vision test robustness and add thinking tests
Add skipIfNoVisionOverride() to skip vision tests when OLLAMA_TEST_MODEL
is set to a non-vision model. Add Think:false to context exhaustion test
to prevent thinking models from using all context before the test can
measure it. Add third test image (ollama homepage) and replace OCR test
with ImageDescription test using it. Relax match strings for broader
model compatibility. Add TestThinkingEnabled and TestThinkingSuppressed
to verify thinking output and channel tag handling.
* gemma4: add Gemma 4 GGML model support

Test audio transcription and response via the Ollama native API, plus
two new tests exercising the OpenAI-compatible endpoints:
- /v1/audio/transcriptions (multipart form upload)
- /v1/chat/completions with input_audio content type

* gemma4: rewrite renderer to match HF Jinja2 template exactly
Fix 8 bugs found by building 55 reference tests verified against the
HF Jinja2 chat template (VERIFY_JINJA2=1 shells out to Python):
- Tool responses use separate <|turn>tool turns (not inline tags)
- Tool calls emitted before content in assistant messages
- Thinking content stripped from assistant history (strip_thinking)
- User, tool, and system content trimmed (template does | trim)
- Empty system message still emits system turn (check role, not content)
- Nested object properties rendered recursively with required field
- Array items specification rendered for array-type properties
- OBJECT/ARRAY type-specific rendering comma logic matches template
Also adds Required field to api.ToolProperty for nested object schemas,
replaces old gemma4_test.go with comprehensive gemma4_reference_test.go,
and commits the Jinja2 template as testdata for verification.

pullModelManifest unmarshals the registry response into a Go struct
then re-marshals with json.Marshal before writing to disk. When the
registry's JSON formatting or field ordering differs from Go's
output, the local SHA256 won't match the registry's
Ollama-Content-Digest header, causing false "out of date" warnings.
Preserve the raw bytes from the registry response and write them
directly to disk so the local manifest is byte-for-byte identical
to what the registry serves.
A stop-gap for now to guide users better. We'll add more in-depth recommendations per integration as well.

Copilot Chat prefers to use `general.basename` in the built-in Ollama
integration, but this name isn't usually shown directly to users (and
there may be many models that share this name). Instead we pass back
`req.Model`, which for this extension is the value that we return from
`/api/tags`
If `OLLAMA_DEBUG_LOG_REQUESTS` is set, then on server startup a temp
folder will be created. Upon any inference request, the body will be
logged to a file in this folder, as well as a small shell script to
"replay" the request using cURL.
This is just intended for debugging scenarios, not as something to turn
on normally.
`WebSearchAnthropicWriter` expects a single object per write. The new
transparent proxy will instead send it whatever bytes it sees. This
cloud-model + local-orchestration + cloud-search is a temporary code
path, so instead of making the web search code more robust to this, I
put an adapter in the middle that will flush line-by-line to preserve
the old behavior.
MLX runners (image generation and LLM) previously bypassed the
scheduler's standard load path via a separate loadMLX method. This meant
they skipped VRAM fitting checks and couldn't participate in model
eviction.
Now all model types flow through the same load function. Model eviction
for MLX is based on weights as KV cache and compute graph are dynamic.
This means that eviction does not take into account the worst case
memory and models can still compete for memory but it is a significant
improvement.
When a zstd-compressed request (e.g. from Codex CLI) hits /v1/responses
with a cloud model the request failed.
Fix by decompressing zstd bodies before
model extraction, so cloud models are detected and proxied directly
without the writer being wrapped.
Previously we were printing out bad errors for expected cases like
clients disconnecting. Now we only debug log when that happens (which
still might help in cases where we're figuring out why an integration
isn't working). For other errors, we print out a proper warning now
* don't require pulling stubs for cloud models
This is a first in a series of PRs that will better integrate Ollama's
cloud into the API and CLI. Previously we used to have a layer of
indirection where you'd first have to pull a "stub" model that contains
a reference to a cloud model. With this change, you don't have to pull
first, you can just use a cloud model in various routes like `/api/chat`
and `/api/show`. This change respects
<https://github.com/ollama/ollama/pull/14221>, so if cloud is disabled,
these models won't be accessible.
There's also a new, simpler pass-through proxy that doesn't convert the
requests ahead of hitting the cloud models, which they themselves
already support various formats (e.g., `v1/chat/completions` or Open
Responses, etc.). This will help prevent issues caused by double
converting (e.g., `v1/chat/completions` converted to `api/chat` on the
client, then calling cloud and converting back to a
`v1/chat/completions` response instead of the cloud model handling the
original `v1/chat/completions` request first).
There's now a notion of "source tags", which can be mixed with existing
tags. So instead of having different formats like`gpt-oss:20b-cloud` vs.
`kimi-k2.5:cloud` (`-cloud` suffix vs. `:cloud`), you can now specify
cloud by simply appending `:cloud`. This PR doesn't change model
resolution yet, but sets us up to allow for things like omitting the
non-source tag, which would make something like `ollama run
gpt-oss:cloud` work the same way that `ollama run gpt-oss` already works
today.
More detailed changes:
- Added a shared model selector parser in `types/modelselector`:
- supports `:cloud` and `:local`
- accepts source tags in any position
- supports legacy `:<tag>-cloud`
- rejects conflicting source tags
- Integrated selector handling across server inference/show routes:
- `GenerateHandler`, `ChatHandler`, `EmbedHandler`,
`EmbeddingsHandler`, `ShowHandler`
- Added explicit-cloud passthrough proxy for ollama.com:
- same-endpoint forwarding for `/api/*`, `/v1/*`, and `/v1/messages`
- normalizes `model` (and `name` for `/api/show`) before forwarding
- forwards request headers except hop-by-hop/proxy-managed headers
- uses bounded response-header timeout
- handles auth failures in a friendly way
- Preserved cloud-disable behavior (`OLLAMA_NO_CLOUD`)
- Updated create flow to support `FROM ...:cloud` model sources (though
this flow uses the legacy proxy still, supporting Modelfile overrides
is more complicated with the direct proxy approach)
- Updated CLI/TUI/config cloud detection to use shared selector logic
- Updated CLI preflight behavior so explicit cloud requests do not
auto-pull local stubs
What's next?
- Cloud discovery/listing and cache-backed `ollama ls` / `/api/tags`
- Modelfile overlay support for virtual cloud models on OpenAI/Anthropic
request families
- Recommender/default-selection behavior for ambiguous model families
- Fully remove the legacy flow
Fixes: https://github.com/ollama/ollama/issues/13801
* consolidate pull logic into confirmAndPull helper
pullIfNeeded and ShowOrPull shared identical confirm-and-pull logic.
Extract confirmAndPull to eliminate the duplication.
* skip local existence checks for cloud models
ModelExists and the TUI's modelExists both check the local model list,
which causes cloud models to appear missing. Return true early for
explicit cloud models so the TUI displays them beside the integration
name and skips re-prompting the model picker on relaunch.
* support optionally pulling stubs for newly-style names
We now normalize names like `<family>:<size>:cloud` into legacy-style
names like `<family>:<size>-cloud` for pulling and deleting (this also
supports stripping `:local`). Support for pulling cloud models is
temporary, once we integrate properly into `/api/tags` we won't need
this anymore.

Currently, context length is unbounded - the cache will keep
growing forever independent of the model's trained context
length. This caps it and enforces semantics similar to most
cloud services:
- Long prompts will result in an error, not truncation.
- Generation that exceeds the context will be stopped
The MLX runner previously reported a static VRAM estimate that was
computed at load time and consisted only of the weights. This is
strictly less than the actual memory usage, as it does not include
the KV cache or compute graph.
This fixes a bug with current MLX based models which don't get loaded/unloaded correctly. The first model currently gets loaded and then subsequent model starts get shunted to the first runner which results in the wrong model being run.
* add ability to disable cloud
Users can now easily opt-out of cloud inference and web search by
setting
```
"disable_ollama_cloud": true
```
in their `~/.ollama/server.json` settings file. After a setting update,
the server must be restarted.
Alternatively, setting the environment variable `OLLAMA_NO_CLOUD=1` will
also disable cloud features. While users previously were able to avoid
cloud models by not pulling or `ollama run`ing them, this gives them an
easy way to enforce that decision. Any attempt to run a cloud model when
cloud is disabled will fail.
The app's old "airplane mode" setting, which did a similar thing for
hiding cloud models within the app is now unified with this new cloud
disabled mode. That setting has been replaced with a "Cloud" toggle,
which behind the scenes edits `server.json` and then restarts the
server.
* gate cloud models across TUI and launch flows when cloud is disabled
Block cloud models from being selected, launched, or written to
integration configs when cloud mode is turned off:
- TUI main menu: open model picker instead of launching with a
disabled cloud model
- cmd.go: add IsCloudModelDisabled checks for all Selection* paths
- LaunchCmd: filter cloud models from saved Editor configs before
launch, fall through to picker if none remain
- Editor Run() methods (droid, opencode, openclaw): filter cloud
models before calling Edit() and persist the cleaned list
- Export SaveIntegration, remove SaveIntegrationModel wrapper that
was accumulating models instead of replacing them
* rename saveIntegration to SaveIntegration in config.go and tests
* cmd/config: add --model guarding and empty model list fixes
* Update docs/faq.mdx

Change the truncation algorithm to start with all messages and remove
from the front until it fits, rather than adding messages one at a time
from the back. This reduces tokenization calls from O(n) to O(1) in the
common case where all messages fit in context.
When context length is clamped to the model's trained context length,
ollama ps now shows the actual clamped value instead of the originally
configured value.
