[Ollama](https://ollama.com) has released version 0.18, bringing significant improvements
for developers building agentic AI applications. The release includes official OpenClaw
provider integration, performance improvements for cloud models, and the introduction
of NVIDIA Nemotron-3-Super.

## OpenClaw Integration

Ollama can now be selected as an authentication and model provider during OpenClaw
onboarding. This integration bridges the gap between local LLM inference and agentic
AI workflows.

    ```wp-block-code
    openclaw onboard --auth-choice ollama
    ```

## Performance Improvements

Ollama 0.18 delivers up to **2x faster speeds** with Kimi-K2.5, along with improved
tool calling accuracy. For North American users, MiniMax-M2.5 and Qwen3.5 on Ollama
cloud now respond up to 10x and 2x faster respectively.

## Nemotron-3-Super

The highlight is [Nemotron-3-Super](https://ollama.com/library/nemotron-3-super),
a 122B parameter model with strong reasoning and tool calling. It scores highest
of any open model on PinchBench, measuring task completion success with OpenClaw.

 * Cloud: `ollama run nemotron-3-super:cloud`
 * Local: `ollama run nemotron-3-super` (requires 96GB+ VRAM)

## Non-Interactive Task Support

The `ollama launch` command now supports `--yes` for non-interactive use in scripts
and CI/CD:

    ```wp-block-code
    ollama launch claude --model glm-5:cloud --yes -- "Review this PR"
    ```
