do you know why ollama hasn't updated its models in over a month while many fantastic models have been released in that time, most recently GLM 4.5? It's forcing me to use LM Studio which I for whatever reason absolutely do not prefer.

thank you guys for all your work on it, regardless

You know that if you go to hugging face and find a gguf page, you can click on Deploy and select ollama. It comes with “run” but whatever—just change to pull. Has a jacked name, but works.

Also, if you search on ollama’s models, you’ll see user ones that you can download too

We work closely with majority of research labs / model creates directly. Most of the times we will support models on release day. There are sometimes where the release window for major models are fairly close - and we just have to elect to support models where we believe will better support a majority of users.

Nothing out of spite, and purely limited by the amount of effort required to support these models.

We are hopeful too -- where users can technically add models to Ollama directly. Although there is definitely some learning curve.

GLM 4.5 has a new/modified architecture. From what I understand, MLX was really one of the only frameworks that had support for it as of yesterday. LM Studio supports MLX as one backend. Everyone else was/is still developing support for it.

Ollama has the new 235B and 30B Qwen3 models from this week, so it’s not as if they have done nothing for a month.

ah, that explains why all the GLM quants are MLX models

just so you know, you can grab any gguf from huggingface and specify the quant like this:

  ollama pull hf.co/bartowski/nvidia_OpenCodeReasoning-Nemotron-7B-GGUF:IQ4_XS
