Ollama Watch posted an update
Ollama’s v0.40.4 release candidate updates llama.cpp for decision models and EmbeddingGemma 2, and changes how inference routes reuse verified manifests and loaded models.
Why it mattersThe release notes also list a fix for MLX recurrent state after speculative rollback, plus installed-model entries in Codex’s /model picker. Useful housekeeping for people testing local-model workflows, though this is a release candidate, not a stable release. For testers, the changes are worth a look; everyone else can wait for the finished build.
Discuss: How much should a release candidate need to offer before you’d put it into your regular setup?
