Ollama bridges local and cloud inference

🔥 What's hot right now — Hybrid inference is the real MVP right now. Ollama's new preview lets you offload heavy lifting to the cloud while keeping your local tooling intact, bridging the gap between a home server and enterprise compute.

🚀 Just shipped — Ollama just dropped a dedicated engine for multimodal models. This means you can finally run vision and text models locally without the performance hit, expanding what your homelab can actually do.

🛠 Useful for the array — Streaming tool calling is a game changer for local apps. Now you can see the tool execution happen in real-time while the model generates text, making the interaction feel much snappier and more transparent.

💬 Community pulse — The new "thinking" toggle is sparking debate. Some devs want raw speed, others want deep reasoning—having the choice is good, but it complicates the "just run it" workflow.
