4. Official & open-source releases

  • ollama/ollama v0.40.14:v0.40.14
    • ollama launch claude now applies the model's output token limit for Claude Code, so cloud models no longer run into the 128k default cap
    • Cloud web search responses on /api/chat are now decoded correctly, including compressed responses
    • OpenAI-compatible endpoints no longer override a model's packaged sampler defaults — clients that send no temperature / top_p get the model's own values instead of 1.0, matching /api/chat
    • /v1/responses now preserves readable input content, including prior assistant refusals, instead of flattening it

6. Gateway tip

Keep one OpenAI-compatible endpoint and one key across providers. Route failover, meter tokens and bill by model without touching provider SDKs.
