Bug Fix

Ollama v0.18.2-rc1 addresses a critical issue in the OpenClaw launcher where newly selected models were not being picked up by existing sessions.

The Problem

Sessions that contained stale model field data were not being updated when the primary model selection changed. This meant that even if a user selected a new model, the application would continue using the old model in affected sessions, leading to unexpected behavior and confusion.

What Changed

The fix ensures that when the primary model is changed, all active sessions with outdated model references are properly refreshed to use the newly selected model.

For Users

If you've experienced issues where your selected model wasn't taking effect in the launcher, this release candidate should resolve those problems. Testing this RC is recommended before the stable release.
