Tools official 1 src. ~1 min

Ollama v0.23.3 (May 12, 2026) fixes a status timeout during MLX inference, addresses macOS 26 target leakage in the Metal library compilation, and refines ImageGen runner behavior with MLX thread affinity optimization. This follows v0.23.2 (May 7) which added 6.7x faster /api/show response times via API caching.

Why it matters

The Metal and MLX fixes ensure Ollama continues to run reliably on the upcoming macOS 26 developer betas, which are already in use among early adopters.
