## Executive Summary (TL;DR)
Ollama v0.5.5. Source highlight: Phi-4: Phi 4 is a 14B parameter, state-of-the-art open model from Microsoft.

## Improvements
- Granite 3.1 Dense: 2B and 8B text-only dense LLMs trained on over 12 trillion tokens of data, demonstrated significant improvements over their predecessors in performance and speed in IBM’s initial testing.
- The `/api/create` API endpoint that powers `ollama create` has been changed to improve conversion time and also accept a JSON object. **Note: this change is not backwards compatible**. If importing models, make sure you're using version `0.5.5` or later for both Ollama and the `ollama` CLI when running `ollama create`. If using `ollama.create` in the Python or JavaScript libraries, make sure to update to the latest version.

## Bug Fixes
- Fixed runtime error that would occur when filling the model's context window
- Fixed crash that would occur when quotes were used in `/save`
- Fixed errors that would occur when sending x-stainless headers from OpenAI clients
