Local models with Ollama
Run everything on your own machine: Ollama serves the model, Dolphin Pod talks to it, and nothing leaves your computer.
-
Install Ollama from https://ollama.com and start it.
-
Pull a thinking model, for example:
ollama pull qwen3.5:2bLarger options:
qwen3.5:9b,gpt-oss:20b(supports low / medium / high effort),deepseek-r1:14b. -
In Dolphin Pod, add the Ollama provider (default
http://localhost:11434) and choose the model for your agents.
Models are checked with Ollama’s own capability list; only models that support thinking are selectable.
