Ollama

Partners with cloud host Fly.io so AI agents running in Fly.io's sandboxed virtual machines can call Ollama's cloud models without handling API keys directly.

Switches its Pro ($20/month) and Max ($100/month) cloud plans from billing by GPU time to per-token pricing with monthly usage credits and opens a $500-a-month Team plan for businesses, saying GPU-time bills had become hard to predict as open models grew larger; the change came weeks after it temporarily paused new Max sign-ups because demand was outrunning capacity.

Raises a $65 million Series B led by Theory Ventures, bringing total funding to $88 million; with only 14 employees, it says 8.9 million developers use it monthly but discloses no revenue or valuation.

Security firm Cyera discloses "Bleeding Llama" (CVE-2026-7482), a critical flaw letting outsiders pull prompts and secrets from the memory of unprotected Ollama servers, and estimates about 300,000 internet-facing servers are exposed; Ollama had shipped a fix in February, about three weeks after Cyera reported it.

A widely shared essay, "Friends Don't Let Friends Use Ollama," and a popular "Stop using Ollama" thread on Reddit's main local-AI forum revive complaints about slow credit to the open-source llama.cpp project it was built on, lock-in and slower performance than rivals.

SentinelOne and Censys researchers count about 175,000 Ollama servers publicly exposed across 130 countries; a separate report the same week described criminals hijacking exposed AI servers and reselling access to them.

Adds compatibility with Anthropic's API so Claude Code can run on open models, a day after adding OpenAI's Codex; the CEO later said January, when coding agents such as OpenClaw took off, was the proof point for the business.
