[Why] do models require a new version? It can already take arbitrary gguf; I assumed they just had a registry online

They do, and I was using the "new" models before the update. Perhaps there is tuning or bug fixes for them? Or they just want to confirm that these are supported. There are some new models that do have different architectures, so sometimes an update is necessary.

this looks very awesome. can someone tell me why there is no chatter about this? is there something else out there that blows this out of the water in terms of ease of use and access to sample many LLM's ?

Lola a has been brought up many times on HN. It’s a great tool!

Because the way they are quantized takes time to get bug-free when new architectures are released. If a model was quantized with a known bug in the quantizer, then it effectively makes those quantized versions buggy and they need to be requantized with a new version of llamacpp which has this fixed.

Ollama is really organized - it relies on llama but the UX and organization it provides makes it legit. We recently made a one-click wizard to run Open WebUI and Ollama together, self hosted and remotely accessible but locally hosted [1]

I use a mix of using llamacpp directly via my own python bindings and using it via llamacpp-python for function calling and full control over parameters and loading, but otherwise ollama is just great for ease of use. There's really not a reason not to use it, if just want to load gguf models and don't have any intricate requirements.

HN isnt really the best space for LLM news - r/LocalLlama and twitter are much better. I think HN has some cultural issues with “AI” news

I wonder if Ollama will or plans to have other "Supported backends" than llama.cpp. It's listed on the very last line of their readme as if the llama.cpp dependency is just incidental and a very minor detail rather than Ollama as a deployment mechanism for llama.cpp and gguf based models.
