ollama/ollama

Ollama, the open-source tool for running large language models locally, has released a new version that adds a 'launch' command to connect with AI agents and applications such as Claude Code, Codex, Copilot, and OpenClaw, and introduces support for the Gemma 4 model. The update includes a REST API, Python and JavaScript libraries, and Docker images, enabling developers to integrate open models into their workflows.

The official Ollama Docker image ollama/ollama

is available on Docker Hub.

ollama

You'll be prompted to run a model or connect Ollama to your existing agents or applications such as Claude Code

, OpenClaw

, OpenCode

, Codex

, Copilot

, and more.

To launch a specific integration:

ollama launch claude

Supported integrations include Claude Code, Codex, Copilot CLI, DeepSeek Harness, Droid, and OpenCode.

Use OpenClaw to turn Ollama into a personal AI assistant across WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack, Discord, and more:

ollama launch openclaw

Run and chat with Gemma 4:

ollama run gemma4

See ollama.com/library for the full list.

See the quickstart guide for more details.

Ollama has a REST API for running and managing models.

curl http://localhost:11434/api/chat -d '{
  "model": "gemma4",
  "messages": [{
    "role": "user",
    "content": "Why is the sky blue?"
  }],
  "stream": false
}'

See the API documentation for all endpoints.

pip install ollama
python
from ollama import chat

response = chat(model='gemma4', messages=[
  {
    'role': 'user',
    'content': 'Why is the sky blue?',
  },
])
print(response.message.content)
npm i ollama
python
import ollama from "ollama";

const response = await ollama.chat({
  model: "gemma4",
  messages: [{ role: "user", content: "Why is the sky blue?" }],
});
console.log(response.message.content);
