✨ What's New

🧠 1. Vision Support for gemma3:4b

• Now supports vision-language inference with gemma3:4b (VLM).
• Use images in both CLI and REST API:
  • CLI:

    /input "path/to/image.png" What’s in this image?
    

    • Supports .png and .jpg formats.
  • REST API (/api/chat): Provide images using the "images" field.
    • Supports .png and .jpg formats.
• Original text-only model is renamed to: gemma3-text:4b

  Use the text-only version for lower memory usage on pure text tasks.

📉 2. Quantization Update for Qwen3

• Updated qwen3:4b and qwen3:8b to use Unsloth GGUF quantization.
• Provides better performance and compatibility.
