Ollama models not appearing in my model selection menu. Ollama setup trouble.

Question

This time around when setting up OpenCoder with Ollama to use offline, I am having a lot of trouble.
This is what my configuration file looks like.

{
  "$schema": "https://opencode.ai/config.json",
  "provider": {
    "ollama": {
      "npm": "@ai-sdk/openai-compatible",
      "name": "Ollama (PC1)",
      "options": {
        "baseURL": "http://localhost:11434/v1"
      },
      "models": {
        "ministral-3:3b": {
          "name": "ministral-3:3b"
        }
      }  
    }  
  }  
}

Whenever I use the /models it does not give me an option for my Ollama models.

I am currently using Linux Debbie 13 and I am using opencode Version 1.0.134.
Ollama Version 0.13.1

This issue might be a duplicate of existing issues. Please check:

need help setting up ollama #4862: Ollama provider initialization fails with similar configuration setup (ProviderInitError with TypeError)
Why is opencode not working with local llms via Ollama? #4428: Similar issues with Ollama models not working despite correct configuration
bug? Ollama does not work as a provider unless configured with an API key #227: Ollama requires API key configuration even for localhost setup

Feel free to ignore if none of these address your specific case.

No, I can't get my Ollama models to come up at all.

My Ollama models do not even appear as an option.

I was testing to see if it was just the smaller models that have the problem but I'm still having the same problem with the larger models as well.

{
  "$schema": "https://opencode.ai/config.json",
  "provider": {
    "ollama": {
      "npm": "@ai-sdk/openai-compatible",
      "name": "Ollama (local)",
      "options": {
        "baseURL": "http://localhost:11434/v1"
      },
      "models": {
        "qwen3-vl:235b": {
          "name": "qwen3-vl:235b"
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

I suspect the file isn't in the correct location.

Can you run:

opencode debug config

  "mode": {},
  "plugin": [],

  }
}

I am accessing the file by using Nano in the command line in my Debian operating system.
nano ~/.local/share/opencode/auth.json

The Nano output is the following.

{
  "$schema": "https://opencode.ai/config.json",
  "provider": {
    "ollama": {
      "npm": "@ai-sdk/openai-compatible",

      "options": {
        "baseURL": "http://localhost:11434/"
      },
      "models": {
        "qwen3-vl:235b": {
          "name": "qwen3-vl:235b"
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

opencode.json

Try setting up your config at ~/.opencode/opencode.json

Unfortunately, even with the file provided, I'm still getting this error.

Config file at /home/qwerty/.opencode/opencode.json is not valid JSON(C):

I have updated the file and added one extra missing bracket.

        },
	"devstral-small-2:latest": {

    }
  }
}
}

It is working now. Thank you.
