October 16, 2025

Illustration of Ollama coding

GLM-4.6 and Qwen3-coder-480B are available on Ollama's cloud service
with easy integrations to the tools you are familiar with.
Qwen3-Coder-30B has been updated for faster, more reliable tool
calling in Ollama's new engine.

Get started

GLM-4.6

ollama run glm-4.6:cloud

Qwen3-Coder-480B

ollama run qwen3-coder:480b-cloud

For users with more than 300GB of VRAM, qwen3-coder:480b is also
available locally.

Qwen3-Coder-30B

Example prompts

Create a single-page app in a single HTML file with the following requirements:

Name: Ollama's Adventure
Goal: Jump over obstacles to survive as long as possible.
Features: Increasing speed, high score tracking, retry button, and funny sounds for actions and events.

The UI should be colorful, with parallax scrolling backgrounds.
The characters should look cartoonish, related to alpacas and be fun to watch.
The game should be enjoyable for everyone.
