🚨 Troubleshooting

❓ Common Issues

🔌 "Ollama not available"

# Check if Ollama is running
curl http://localhost:11434/api/version

# Start Ollama if needed
ollama serve

# Verify model is available
ollama list

⏰ "AI generation timeout"

# Use a faster model
export CHANGELOG_AI_MODEL=llama3.2:3b

# Or increase timeout
export OLLAMA_TIMEOUT=60000

🤖 "Model not found"

# Install the recommended models
ollama pull llama3.2:3b      # Fast and reliable
ollama pull llama3.1:latest  # Balanced performance

# Or use an available model
ollama list
export CHANGELOG_AI_MODEL=your-available-model

⚡ Performance Optimization

Performance Best Practices

1. Use llama3.2:3b for frequent operations (fast changelog generation)
2. Use llama3.1:latest for comprehensive analysis (balanced performance)
3. Use gemma3:27b for detailed analysis (best quality but requires 16GB+ RAM)
4. Keep Ollama warm by running a test query periodically
5. Batch operations when possible to avoid model loading overhead
