Hi, there. I'm afraid that starting with v0.12.5 Ollama does not support Monterey and Ventura anymore.

Not a problem, but Ollama try automatically upgrade. Can I disable automatic updates to keep a working release?

@kitzum I am afraid it is not supported in the app as of now either, but you may want to block the domain used for updates using a firewall or something similar, please check this (still open) issue for more info:

A comment in the issue above also suggests that you can install Ollama using another file that does not have the auto-update feature. I use Ollama on Linux so I'm afraid I cannot help further (I am just a regular user btw).

@kitzum The auto updater shouldn't update to 0.12.5 (let me know if that isn't the case). Sorry about that. Indeed, newer versions of Ollama require macOS 14 or later

Think it's from 0.12.4
