Switches to llama.cpp backend for GGUF compatibility and MLX
Ollama releases a pre-release build switching to a llama.cpp backend for native GGUF support and MLX-accelerated inference on Apple Silicon.
This version of Ollama will change the architecture to directly support llama.cpp instead of building on top of GGML, and allows for compatibility with GGUF file format. MLX is used to accelerate model inference on Apple Silicon. While in pre-release we'd love feedback on: Performance improvements or degradation Errors or crashes that did not previously occur Memory utilization improvements or degradation Known issues: `laguna-xs.2` is not yet supported on Windows/Linux.
`llama3.2-vision` is not yet supported `nomic-embed-text` now converts inputs to lowercase per the model card where prior Ollama versions incorrectly preserved mixed case Installing: Mac/Linux ``` curl -fsSL https://ollama.com/install.sh | OLLAMA_VERSION=0.30.0-rc31 sh ``` Windows ``` $env:OLLAMA_VERSION="0.30.0-rc31"; irm https://ollama.com/install.ps1 | iex ```
