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).
* 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
Add full Gemma 4 model family support (E2B, E4B, 26B MoE, 31B Dense)
for the GGML backend including text, vision, converter, parser, and
renderer.
Text model features:
- Sliding window + full attention with per-layer patterns
- KV sharing across layers with donor map
- Per-layer embeddings (PLE) with learned projections
- MoE routing with RMSNorm + learned scale

- Converter: audio tensor mapping, SSCP/conformer/embedder name replacements,
softplus repacker for per_dim_scale, F32 enforcement for conv weights
- GGML backend: Conv1DDW and PadExt tensor ops
- Audio encoder: SSCP Conv2D, 12 conformer blocks (FFW + block-local
attention with relative position embeddings + LightConv1d + FFW),
output projection, audio-to-text embedding projector
- Audio preprocessing: WAV decode, mel spectrogram, FFT (pure Go)
- Model wiring: WAV detection, audio token handling, unified PostTokenize
Correctly transcribes "why is the sky blue" from test audio.
* integration: add gemma4 audio tests including OpenAI API coverage
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
All tests use capability checks and skip models without audio support.
* gemma4: add OpenAI audio API support and capability detection
- Add CapabilityAudio and detect from audio.block_count in GGUF
- Add /v1/audio/transcriptions endpoint with TranscriptionMiddleware
- Add input_audio content type support in /v1/chat/completions
- Add TranscriptionRequest/Response types in openai package
* gemma4: add audio input support for run command

PulseAudio/ALSA on Linux, WASAPI on Windows)
- Space to start/stop recording, automatic chunking for long audio
* gemma4: add transcribe command (ollama transcribe MODEL)
- Interactive mode with readline prompt and slash commands
- Non-interactive mode for piped audio or record-until-Ctrl+C
- Chunked streaming transcription for long recordings
- Word-wrapped output matching run command style
* gemma4: add parser, renderer, and integration test plumbing
* gemma4: fix renderer to emit BOS token
* gemma4: add OpenAI audio transcription API and input_audio support
* gemma4: update converter for new weight drop naming
* gemma4: add per_expert_scale to MoE router and fix moe_intermediate_size config
* 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.
* gemma4: fix MoE fused gate_up split and multiline tool-call arg parsing
- Text MoE: split `ffn_gate_up_exps` into contiguous `[gate|up]` halves instead of stride-2 slices.
- Parser: escape control characters in `<|"|>...<|"|>` string literals when converting tool-call args to JSON.
- Fixes warnings like `invalid character '\n' in string literal` for multiline tool arguments.
- Add Gemma4 parser regressions for multiline tool-call args and `gemma4ArgsToJSON`.
* cmd: simplify audio input to dropped file attachments
* gemma4: use full SWA memory for better cache reuse

There are two bugs when using `/load <model>` for a model that doesn't exist, namely:
1. it will not restore the current model settings if the current model is a thinking model; and
2. it will crash is the current model is a non-thinking model
This bug fix saves the current runOptions and then restores them if the model load
doesn't happen. It also fixes the crash happening for non-thinking models.
* bf16
* tests
* gpt-oss
* enable gptoss for engine
* rough estimate
* convert to mxfp4
* handle safetensors U8
* clamp glu/linear
* update tokenizer
* MXFP4 support
This implements the Open Compute Microscaling (MX) FP4 format
as a tensor type with backend implementations focusing
on mulmat and mulmatid on CPU, CUDA, and Metal.
* Unit tests for MXFP4 support
This exercises various operations and shapes on both CPU and GPU (if detected
on the system)
* cuda graph
* unit test adjustments
* cuda: optimize memory access
Read 4 bytes at a time (8 elements) when performing mul_mat_vec_mxfp4
* mac: fix crash on old macos versions
cblas_sgemm is only supported on v13.3 and up, however bf16 is
only supported on v14+ so we were falling back to ggml-blas and
crashing on bf16 tensors. Checking for the function being null
seems to be the simplest way to condittionally avoid registering the
backend.
* server: Minimum context length for gptoss
This model requires a minimum context length of 8192 to function
effectively. Users can set higher values through all normal mechanisms
but lower values will be silently reset.
* ggml: Multiply by numParallel for gptoss sliding window
When computing the graph size estimate, the context size is already
multiplied by numParallel so estimates reflect that. However, since
sliding window models use a smaller, fixed context size, they need
to manually take numParallel into account.
* gpt-oss integration
includes harmony parser and thinking levels, etc.
* fix sync
* fix tests
* fix lint

- Both `/api/generate` and `/api/chat` now accept a `"think"`
option that allows specifying whether thinking mode should be on or
not
- Templates get passed this new option so, e.g., qwen3's template can
put `/think` or `/no_think` in the system prompt depending on the
value of the setting
- Models' thinking support is inferred by inspecting model templates.
The prefix and suffix the parser uses to identify thinking support is
also automatically inferred from templates
- Thinking control & parsing is opt-in via the API to prevent breaking
existing API consumers. If the `"think"` option is not specified, the
behavior is unchanged from previous versions of ollama
- Add parsing for thinking blocks in both streaming/non-streaming mode
in both `/generate` and `/chat`
- Update the CLI to make use of these changes. Users can pass `--think`
or `--think=false` to control thinking, or during an interactive
session they can use the commands `/set think` or `/set nothink`
- A `--hidethinking` option has also been added to the CLI. This makes
it easy to use thinking in scripting scenarios like
`ollama run qwen3 --think --hidethinking "my question here"` where you
just want to see the answer but still want the benefits of thinking
models
This fixes the case where a FROM line in previous modelfile points to a
file which may/may not be present in a different ollama instance. We
shouldn't be relying on the filename though and instead just check if
the FROM line was instead a valid model name and point to that instead.
Add metadata and tensor information to the show command to be able to
see more information about a model. This outputs the same data as
shown on the model details page on ollama.com
Currently the CLI only sends images from the most recent image-
containing message. This prevents doing things like sending
one message with an image and then a follow message with a
second image and asking for comparision based on additional
information not present in any text that was output.
It's possible that some models have a problem with this but the
CLI is not the right place to do this since any adjustments are
model-specific and should affect all clients.
Both llava:34b and minicpm-v do reasonable things with multiple
images in the history.
This commit changes the 'ollama run' command to defer fetching model
information until it really needs it. That is, when in interactive mode.
It also removes one such case where the model information is fetch in
duplicate, just before calling generateInteractive and then again, first
thing, in generateInteractive.
This positively impacts the performance of the command:
