Good morning, this is your Ollama developer briefing for April 20th, 2026.
Parth Sareen merged pull request 15723, adding Kimi CLI integration with installer flow. This substantial change adds nearly 1,000 lines of code across seven files, introducing a new `ollama launch kimi` command. The integration includes comprehensive test coverage with over 600 lines of test code and updates to the…
Jesse Gross merged pull request 15659, implementing sigmoid router head fusion in the GLM4 MOE Lite model. This optimization addresses a performance bottleneck in DeepSeek-V2-style routing where sigmoid gates were computed twice. The new fused kernel returns both the raw sigmoid output and post-bias negation in a…
Both merged pull requests were also reflected in additional commits to the main branch, with Sareen's Kimi integration and Gross's MLX optimization now available in the latest build.
What's next: The Kimi CLI integration expands Ollama's launch capabilities for third-party tool integration. The MLX performance optimization sets a foundation for similar improvements across other mixture-of-experts models.
That's your Ollama development update for today.
