Ollama v0.23.0 was released today, introducing official support for the Claude Desktop application. This integration allows users to run both Claude Cowork and Claude Code directly within the Claude Desktop App by using the command "ollama launch claude-desktop". Prior to this update, Claude Code was accessible only through the command-line interface via "ollama launch claude". The update also enhances the Ollama application by surfacing featured models through server-driven recommendations, making it easier for users to discover and utilize relevant language models. This release aims to improve accessibility and user experience for developers leveraging local large language models.
