+# Ollama
+
+Ollama is a local LLM runtime that makes it easy to run open-source models on your machine. Durar integrates with Ollama's native API (`/api/chat`), supports streaming and tool calling, and can auto-discover local Ollama models when you opt in with `OLLAMA_API_KEY` (or an auth profile) and do not define an explicit `models.providers.ollama` entry.
+
+<Warning>
+**Remote Ollama users**: Do not use the `/v1` OpenAI-compatible URL (`http://host:11434/v1`) with Durar. This breaks tool calling and models may output raw tool JSON as plain text. Use the native Ollama API URL instead: `baseUrl: "http://host:11434"` (no `/v1`).
+</Warning>
+
+## Quick start
+
+### Onboarding (recommended)
+
+The fastest way to set up Ollama is through onboarding:
+
+```bash
+Durar onboard
+```
+
+Select **Ollama** from the provider list. Onboarding will:
+
+1. Ask for the Ollama base URL where your instance can be reached (default `http://127.0.0.1:11434`).
+2. Let you choose **Cloud + Local** (cloud models and local models) or **Local** (local models only).
+3. Open a browser sign-in flow if you choose **Cloud + Local** and are not signed in to ollama.com.
+4. Discover available models and suggest defaults.
+5. Auto-pull the selected model if it is not available locally.
+
+Non-interactive mode is also supported:
+
+```bash
+Durar onboard --non-interactive \
+  --auth-choice ollama \
+  --accept-risk
+```
+
+Optionally specify a custom base URL or model:
+
+```bash
+Durar onboard --non-interactive \
+  --auth-choice ollama \
+  --custom-base-url "http://ollama-host:11434" \
+  --custom-model-id "qwen3.5:27b" \
+  --accept-risk
+```
+
+### Manual setup
+
+1. Install Ollama: [https://ollama.com/download](https://ollama.com/download)
+
+2. Pull a local model if you want local inference:
+
+```bash
+ollama pull glm-4.7-flash
+# or
+ollama pull gpt-oss:20b
+# or
+ollama pull llama3.3
+```
+
+3. If you want cloud models too, sign in:
+
+```bash
+ollama signin
+```
+
+4. Run onboarding and choose `Ollama`:
+
+```bash
+Durar onboard
+```
+
+- `Local`: local models only
+- `Cloud + Local`: local models plus cloud models
+- Cloud models such as `kimi-k2.5:cloud`, `minimax-m2.5:cloud`, and `glm-5:cloud` do **not** require a local `ollama pull`
+
+Durar currently suggests:
+
+- local default: `glm-4.7-flash`
+- cloud defaults: `kimi-k2.5:cloud`, `minimax-m2.5:cloud`, `glm-5:cloud`
+
+5. If you prefer manual setup, enable Ollama for Durar directly (any value works; Ollama doesn't require a real key):
+
+```bash
+# Set environment variable
+export OLLAMA_API_KEY="ollama-local"
+
+# Or configure in your config file
+Durar config set models.providers.ollama.apiKey "ollama-local"
+```
+
+6. Inspect or switch models:
+
+```bash
+Durar models list
+Durar models set ollama/glm-4.7-flash
+```
+
+7. Or set the default in config:
+
+```json5
+{
+  agents: {
+    defaults: {
+      model: { primary: "ollama/glm-4.7-flash" },
+    },
+  },
+}
+```
+
+## Model discovery (implicit provider)
+
+When you set `OLLAMA_API_KEY` (or an auth profile) and **do not** define `models.providers.ollama`, Durar discovers models from the local Ollama instance at `http://127.0.0.1:11434`:
+
+- Queries `/api/tags`
+- Uses best-effort `/api/show` lookups to read `contextWindow` when available
+- Marks `reasoning` with a model-name heuristic (`r1`, `reasoning`, `think`)
+- Sets `maxTokens` to the default Ollama max-token cap used by Durar
+- Sets all costs to `0`
+
+This avoids manual model entries while keeping the catalog aligned with the local Ollama instance.
+
+To see what models are available:
+
+```bash
+ollama list
+Durar models list
+```
+
+To add a new model, simply pull it with Ollama:
+
+```bash
+ollama pull mistral
+```
+
+The new model will be automatically discovered and available to use.
+
+If you set `models.providers.ollama` explicitly, auto-discovery is skipped and you must define models manually (see below).
+
+## Configuration
+
+### Basic setup (implicit discovery)
+
+The simplest way to enable Ollama is via environment variable:
+
+```bash
+export OLLAMA_API_KEY="ollama-local"
+```
+
+### Explicit setup (manual models)
+
+Use explicit config when:
+
+- Ollama runs on another host/port.
+- You want to force specific context windows or model lists.
+- You want fully manual model definitions.
+
+```json5
+{
+  models: {
+    providers: {
+      ollama: {
+        baseUrl: "http://ollama-host:11434",
+        apiKey: "ollama-local",
+        api: "ollama",
+        models: [
+          {
+            id: "gpt-oss:20b",
+            name: "GPT-OSS 20B",
+            reasoning: false,
+            input: ["text"],
+            cost: { input: 0, output: 0, cacheRead: 0, cacheWrite: 0 },
+            contextWindow: 8192,
+            maxTokens: 8192 * 10
+          }
+        ]
+      }
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+If `OLLAMA_API_KEY` is set, you can omit `apiKey` in the provider entry and Durar will fill it for availability checks.
+
+### Custom base URL (explicit config)
+
+If Ollama is running on a different host or port (explicit config disables auto-discovery, so define models manually):
+
+```json5
+{
+  models: {
+    providers: {
+      ollama: {
+        apiKey: "ollama-local",
+        baseUrl: "http://ollama-host:11434", // No /v1 - use native Ollama API URL
+        api: "ollama", // Set explicitly to guarantee native tool-calling behavior
+      },
+    },
+  },
+}
+```
+
+<Warning>
+Do not add `/v1` to the URL. The `/v1` path uses OpenAI-compatible mode, where tool calling is not reliable. Use the base Ollama URL without a path suffix.
+</Warning>
+
+### Model selection
+
+Once configured, all your Ollama models are available:
+
+```json5
+{
+  agents: {
+    defaults: {
+      model: {
+        primary: "ollama/gpt-oss:20b",
+        fallbacks: ["ollama/llama3.3", "ollama/qwen2.5-coder:32b"],
+      },
+    },
+  },
+}
+```
+
+## Cloud models
+
+Cloud models let you run cloud-hosted models (for example `kimi-k2.5:cloud`, `minimax-m2.5:cloud`, `glm-5:cloud`) alongside your local models.
+
+To use cloud models, select **Cloud + Local** mode during setup. The wizard checks whether you are signed in and opens a browser sign-in flow when needed. If authentication cannot be verified, the wizard falls back to local model defaults.
+
+You can also sign in directly at [ollama.com/signin](https://ollama.com/signin).
+
+## Ollama Web Search
+
+Durar also supports **Ollama Web Search** as a bundled `web_search`
+provider.
+
+- It uses your configured Ollama host (`models.providers.ollama.baseUrl` when
+  set, otherwise `http://127.0.0.1:11434`).
+- It is key-free.
+- It requires Ollama to be running and signed in with `ollama signin`.
+
+Choose **Ollama Web Search** during `Durar onboard` or
+`Durar configure --section web`, or set:
+
+```json5
+{
+  tools: {
+    web: {
+      search: {
+        provider: "ollama",
+      },
+    },
+  },
+}
+```
+
+For the full setup and behavior details, see [Ollama Web Search](/tools/ollama-search).
+
+## Advanced
+
+### Reasoning models
+
+Durar treats models with names such as `deepseek-r1`, `reasoning`, or `think` as reasoning-capable by default:
+
+```bash
+ollama pull deepseek-r1:32b
+```
+
+### Model Costs
+
+Ollama is free and runs locally, so all model costs are set to $0.
+
+### Streaming Configuration
+
+Durar's Ollama integration uses the **native Ollama API** (`/api/chat`) by default, which fully supports streaming and tool calling simultaneously. No special configuration is needed.
+
+#### Legacy OpenAI-Compatible Mode
+
+<Warning>
+**Tool calling is not reliable in OpenAI-compatible mode.** Use this mode only if you need OpenAI format for a proxy and do not depend on native tool calling behavior.
+</Warning>
+
+If you need to use the OpenAI-compatible endpoint instead (e.g., behind a proxy that only supports OpenAI format), set `api: "openai-completions"` explicitly:
+
+```json5
+{
+  models: {
+    providers: {
+      ollama: {
+        baseUrl: "http://ollama-host:11434/v1",
+        api: "openai-completions",
+        injectNumCtxForOpenAICompat: true, // default: true
+        apiKey: "ollama-local",
+        models: [...]
+      }
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+This mode may not support streaming + tool calling simultaneously. You may need to disable streaming with `params: { streaming: false }` in model config.
+
+When `api: "openai-completions"` is used with Ollama, Durar injects `options.num_ctx` by default so Ollama does not silently fall back to a 4096 context window. If your proxy/upstream rejects unknown `options` fields, disable this behavior:
+
+```json5
+{
+  models: {
+    providers: {
+      ollama: {
+        baseUrl: "http://ollama-host:11434/v1",
+        api: "openai-completions",
+        injectNumCtxForOpenAICompat: false,
+        apiKey: "ollama-local",
+        models: [...]
+      }
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Context windows
+
+For auto-discovered models, Durar uses the context window reported by Ollama when available, otherwise it falls back to the default Ollama context window used by Durar. You can override `contextWindow` and `maxTokens` in explicit provider config.
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Ollama not detected
+
+Make sure Ollama is running and that you set `OLLAMA_API_KEY` (or an auth profile), and that you did **not** define an explicit `models.providers.ollama` entry:
+
+```bash
+ollama serve
+```
+
+And that the API is accessible:
+
+```bash
+curl http://localhost:11434/api/tags
+```
+
+### No models available
+
+If your model is not listed, either:
+
+- Pull the model locally, or
+- Define the model explicitly in `models.providers.ollama`.
+
+To add models:
+
+```bash
+ollama list  # See what's installed
+ollama pull glm-4.7-flash
+ollama pull gpt-oss:20b
+ollama pull llama3.3     # Or another model
+```
+
+### Connection refused
+
+Check that Ollama is running on the correct port:
+
+```bash
+# Check if Ollama is running
+ps aux | grep ollama
+
+# Or restart Ollama
+ollama serve
+```
