Decision models in the CLI

Decision models can now be used directly from the terminal with ollama run — ask yes/no questions, classify text into labels, or score against a rubric: ollama run nimble --ask "Is a refund being requested?" < ticket.txt

What's Changed

  • Kev decision models are now supported by the MLX runner on Apple silicon

  • Added support for multimodal embeddings through llama-server
  • Fixed loading multimodal embedding models with small context windows
  • Improved Gemma 4 prefill performance on NVIDIA GPUs with the MLX runner

  • Improved speculative decoding reliability in the MLX runner, including recurrent state handling after rollback
  • Updated llama.cpp with native decision model support
  • Updated README and documentation with clearer privacy and cloud-services wording
