Was updating Ollama et all today to give the 20B model a shot myself but it seems 2025.8 broke all of my input_text entities. I suppose with all of the changes it’s time for a refactor anyway. Anyone else? e: Looks like this was because some had the ‘max’ attribute set in the config (artifacts fro…

Nope [image] We good here… In fact just updated a few AI task entries and am about to finish up files.
