What open models expose about context, tools, compaction, and the agent loop around them.

Simplicity, invisibility, and making local models feel effortless enough to disappear.

Getting 70–80% good at anything, and the strange grief of not-quite-writing code anymore.

OpenClaw in under two minutes with a single Ollama command.

Ollama now supports subagents and web search inside Claude Code.

A new open coding agent built around local and cloud models.

A new command that sets up and runs coding tools with local or cloud models.

Patterns that survived contact with production. Tool design, harnesses, and context engineering.

A new web search API with a generous free tier, available to every ollama user.

What sampling actually does, why temperature is a lie, and how structured outputs constrain the search.

Chat applications can stream content and call tools in real time.

Constrain a model's output to a JSON schema, with Python and JavaScript libraries to match.

Pass Python functions directly as tools, with full typing support and new examples.
