### New Go runner (for contributors):
Ollama is transitioning to a new Go-based subprocess model runner with improved reliability and caching. This new runner found under the `llama` directory replaces the previous code under `llm/ext_server`. During this transition period, the new Go runner is opt-in at build time, and requires using a different approach to build. For more information see [development.md](https://github.com/ollama/ollama/blob/main/docs/development.md).
