## How to Configure Model Capabilities in Ollama

Ollama models usually have their capabilities auto-detected correctly. However, if you're using custom model names or experiencing issues with tools/images not working, you can explicitly set capabilities:

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="YAML">
    ```yaml title="config.yaml" theme={null}
    models:
      - name: <CUSTOM_MODEL_NAME>
        provider: ollama
        model: <CUSTOM_MODEL_ID>
        capabilities:
          - tool_use      # Enable if your model supports function calling
          - image_input   # Enable for vision models
    ```
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="JSON (Deprecated)">
    ```json title="config.json" theme={null}
    {
      "models": [
        {
          "title": "<CUSTOM_MODEL_NAME>",
          "provider": "ollama",
          "model": "<CUSTOM_MODEL_ID>",
          "capabilities": {
            "tools": true, // Enable if your model supports function calling
            "uploadImage": true // Enable for vision models
          }
        }
      ]
    }
    ```
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

<Note>
  Many Ollama models support tool use by default. Vision models often also support image input
