Key Fixes

Ollama v0.15.6 addresses several important bugs that improve the reliability and usability of the platform:

Context Management Improvements

• Fixed context limits when running ollama launch droid
• Resolved an issue where ollama launch claude would cause context compaction when providing images

Automatic Model Downloads

• ollama launch now automatically downloads missing models instead of returning an error, reducing friction when users try to run models they haven't yet installed

What Developers Should Know

These are targeted bugfixes focused on improving the launcher experience and ensuring models handle context windows correctly. Users running the droid model or using Claude with image inputs should update to resolve these issues. The automatic model download feature makes the launch command more forgiving and user-friendly.

Update Guidance

Update to v0.15.6 to take advantage of these fixes, particularly if you've encountered context-related issues or manual model download requirements when using ollama launch.
