Ollama integrates with ChatGPT Desktop; Claude Code sees multiple updates
ByPulseAugur Editorial·[86 sources]·
Ollama has released version 0.34.0-rc4, enabling users to integrate Ollama models directly into ChatGPT Desktop. This update improves structured output performance on Apple Silicon and adds support for OpenAI-compatible client tool search and response compaction, ensuring images function correctly with compacted responses. Separately, Claude Code has seen several updates, including version 2.1.267 which introduces a `maxEffortLevel` setting to cap effort across providers and fixes numerous bugs related to session resumption, tool handling, and artifact publishing. Earlier versions of Claude Code also addressed issues with LLM gateway configurations and plugin directory handling.
