This release is a small but important update for people using Continue with local AI models. It matters most if you use Ollama (a tool for running AI on your own computer) and want your AI to be able to use "tools"—special features that let the AI do things like search the web or run code.
Fixes
- Ollama tool support: Previously, there was a hidden "gate" (a block or restriction) that stopped Ollama models from using tools if they relied on certain templates. We removed this gate, so now your local AI can properly use these extra features without getting blocked.
