The Ollama Mac app has essentially not changed since early 2024: https://github.com/ollama/ollama/commits/main/macapp

You probably mean "2024" here, right?

The new GUI app is closed source.

I have Version 0.12.3 which seems to be the most recent release: https://github.com/ollama/ollama/releases/tag/v0.12.3

It doesn't show up with a laggy Electron version.

I didn't use homebrew, but that version is also up-to-date: https://formulae.brew.sh/cask/ollama-app

I just checked latest Ollama and it seems to be native (or at least not electron).

The new Ollama GUI use system webview.

Ollama does not use electron.

Electron team backported the fix to 2 previous versions, so that’s some datapoint about what they think people should be using.

Thats fine, but i have plenty of electron apps on absolutely ancient versions of the library that I don't expect will be fixed anytime soon. This is why you don't use private apis.
