Ollama released v0.40.11 with two notable additions:
- Speech synthesis: On macOS, ollama run can now play text or a chat model's reply aloud as it's generated, and apps can stream audio via the OpenAI-compatible /v1/audio/speech endpoint.
- d3 decision models: Brings vLLM Semantic Router's decision models to Ollama — classify text, structured state or images, answer yes/no questions, or score options with probabilities. Available in 2B/4B/9B/27B sizes.
