Ollama v0.12.6 — Release Notes & Engineering Impact

## What's Changed * Ollama's app now supports searching when running DeepSeek-V3.1, Qwen3 and other models that support tool calling. * Flash attention is now enabled by default for Gemma 3, improving performance and memory utilization * Fixed issue where Ollama would hang while generating responses * Fixed issue where `qwen3-coder` would act in raw mode when using `/api/generate` or `ollama run qwen3-coder <prompt>` * Fixed `qwen3-embedding` providing invalid results * Ollama will now evict models correctly when `num_gpu` is set * Fixed issue where `tool_index` with a value of `0` would not be sent to the model ## Experimental Vulkan Support Experimental support for Vulkan is now available when you build locally from source. This will enable additional GPUs from AMD, and Intel which are not currently supported by Ollama. To build locally, install the [Vulkan SDK](https://vulkan.lunarg.com/) and set VULKAN_SDK in your environment, then follow the [developer instructions](https://github.com/ollama/ollama/blob/main/docs/development.md). In a future release, Vulkan support will be included in the binary release as well. Please file issues if you run into any problems. ## New Contributors * @yajianggroup made their first contribution in https://github.com/ollama/ollama/pull/12377 * @inforithmics made their first contribution in https://github.com/ollama/ollama/pull/11835 * @sbhavani made their first contribution in https://github.com/ollama/ollama/pull/12619 **Full Changelog**: https://github.com/ollama/ollama/compare/v0.12.5...v0.12.6
