- **added** — Support for Docker Model Runner as an AI model runner backend
- **changed** — Docker Model Runner is now the default AI model runner backend
- **changed** — The DOCKER_CONFIG environment variable is now respected
- **changed** — AI model runners refactored for improved functionality
- **fixed** — Model serving now chooses alternate available ports for API and webui when default ports are in use

##### Highlights

This is an incremental release with support for [Docker Model Runner](https://docs.docker.com/model-runner/) and improvements to the AI functionality introduced in [v0.10.0](https://github.com/abiosoft/colima/releases/tag/v0.10.0).

###### Docker Model Runner

Colima now supports Docker Model Runner as an AI model runner backend.
Docker Model Runner is now the **default** due to its simpler requirements. However, Ramalama can still be used.

```sh
#### run a model (uses docker runner by default)
colima model run gemma3

#### serve a model, chat interface available at localhost:8080
colima model serve gemma3

#### explicitly specify the runner
colima model run gemma3 --runner docker
colima model run gemma3 --runner ramalama

#### set the runner at start time
colima start --model-runner ramalama
```

The runner can be configured via:
- `--runner` flag on `colima model` commands
- `--model-runner` flag at `colima start`
- `modelRunner` in the configuration file

##### Other Updates

* The `DOCKER_CONFIG` environment variable is now respected.
