New Models

Ollama v0.16.0 brings two significant additions to its model library:

• GLM-5: A strong reasoning and agentic model from Z.ai with 744B total parameters (40B active), specifically engineered for complex systems engineering and long-horizon tasks.
• MiniMax-M2.5: A new state-of-the-art large language model optimized for real-world productivity and coding applications.

New ollama launch Command

The release introduces a new application launcher that makes it simple to use Ollama models with external applications. Users can now execute commands like ollama launch pi to automatically configure and run their preferred applications with Ollama's model infrastructure.

Additional Improvements

• MLX Runner Enhancements: Improved support for GLM-4.7-Flash through optimizations to Ollama's MLX runner
• Text Editor Integration: Ctrl+G now enables users to edit text prompts in their preferred text editor while running models
