Run It in EDDI
The fastest route is the Manager: open the agent wizard or the Platform Operator and pick the provider and model. To configure it yourself, follow these steps for the provider you want.
Ollama (local) · type: "ollama"
Model ids: deepseek-r1:8b
1. Store the credential
This provider does not use an API key: Ollama needs no key. Point baseUrl at your Ollama server; with EDDI's Ollama overlay it is http://ollama:11434.
2. Configure the LLM task
Use this as the langchain.json of the agent's workflow, or paste the parameters into the LLM editor in the Manager.

}Notes for EDDI
- Reasoning models think before they answer, which can look like a hang in a streaming chat. Set
"think": "false"for immediate answers, and give the task a generoustimeout. - Runs fully offline once the model is downloaded, so it suits air-gapped deployments.
