Ollama version 0.18.0 was released today, bringing significant performance improvements and new integration capabilities for AI model usage. The update enhances the speed of OpenClaw and Ollama's cloud models, with the release notes stating "up to 2x faster speeds with Kimi-K2.5". Tool calling accuracy for OpenClaw has also been improved. Furthermore, Ollama can now be selected as an authentication and model provider during OpenClaw onboarding, streamlining its use within the platform. Cloud models, such as NVIDIA's Nemotron-3-Super designed for high-performance agentic reasoning tasks, are noted to benefit from these performance optimizations.
