FoolDev Claude Opus 4.7 commited on 27 days ago

README: sync 'What's here' and quick-start to current behavior

Browse files

Two small drift fixes after the recent token-leakage and tool-calling
work:

- smoke_test.sh row now mentions the chat-template-token leakage
assertion added in c61756c.
- Quick-start ollama_chat.py one-liner notes that the tools section
is now [skip]-ped per 6711c39, so users aren't surprised when one
of the four advertised demos doesn't run.
