v0.32.10

What's Changed - Models that don't set a `repeat_penalty` now default to 1.0 (off) instead of 1.1, matching other engines and speeding up speculative decoding; set a per-model parameter if an older model repeats itself. - Faster prefill on NVFP4 MLX models with a global scale, about 7–8% on Qwen3.6 and Muse Glimmer. - Fixed blob verification being skipped when an OCI manifest's config and layer share a digest. New Contributors * @vigneshakaviki made their first contribution in https://github.com/ollama/ollama/pull/15504 **Full Changelog**: https://github.com/ollama/ollama/compare/v0.32.8...v0.32.10-rc1

Data-Driven Fire-Zone Segmentation for Improved Short-Term Wildfire Prediction

This paper proposes a data-driven fire-zone segmentation method for improved short-term wildfire prediction. The authors use an unsupervised segmentation algorithm combining watershed detection and K-means clustering to define prediction units directly from historical fire patterns, instead of uniform grids. Experiments across six French departments and six forecasting models show that fire-zone segmentation consistently outperforms grid-based approaches, with mean IoU improvements of +3–6% depending on spatial scale. The method is computationally lightweight (<10s per configuration) and fully parallelizable.

Fold both cases into the column form the seanet decoder already needs: the general case reshapes the kernel to [IC, K * OC] and matmuls it with the input, the depthwise case batches a matmul over the channels so a step scales its own kernel.
