What is the issue?

Describe the issue

Hi,

I'm trying to setup mini-swe-agent to help me write some Python code for a fun sideproject. I have 6GB of VRAM and would like to use "deepseek-r1:8b", which I have successfully tested (for speed and access). It's not fast, but it should be serviceable for some overnight testing tasks.

I've setup both .env and mini.yaml in the following ways:

.env

MSWEA_MODEL_NAME="ollama/deepseek-r1:8b"
MSWEA_MODEL_API_KEY=""
MSWEA_CONFIGURED="true"
OPENAI_API_KEY=""
MSWEA_COST_TRACKING="ignore_errors"
OLLAMA_API_BASE="http://localhost:11434"

mini.yaml (defaults not included)

model:
  model_name: "ollama/deepseek-r1:8b"
#  cost_tracking: "ignore_errors"
  model_kwargs:
    temperature: 0.0
    custom_llm_provider: "ollama"
    api_base: "http://localhost:11434"
#    drop_params: true

I then attempted to run a trajectory with the following prompt:

Generate a new C program in fib.c which calculates arbitrary Fibonacci numbers using tail recursion

It then hangs on "Waiting on the LM to respond..."

I tried sending this JSON to ollama directly:

last_mini_run.traj.json

{"error":"model '' not found"}%  

And when I copy the "model" dict into the root object:

% cat ~/.config/mini-swe-agent/last_mini_run.traj.json | curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST --data-binary @- http://localhost:11434/api/generate
{"error":"json: cannot unmarshal object into Go struct field GenerateRequest.model of type string"}% 

It's at this point I think I must be doing something wrong, and I'm not sure what the next steps are. Any advice is welcome!

Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/ollama/ollama/issues/13331 ### What is the issue? ### Describe the issue Hi, I'm trying to setup mini-swe-agent to help me write some Python code for a fun sideproject. I have 6GB of VRAM and would like to use "deepseek-r1:8b", which I have successfully tested (for speed and access). It's not fast, but it should be serviceable for some overnight testing tasks. I've setup both .env and mini.yaml in the following ways: ## .env ``` MSWEA_MODEL_NAME="ollama/deepseek-r1:8b" MSWEA_MODEL_API_KEY="" MSWEA_CONFIGURED="true" OPENAI_API_KEY="" MSWEA_COST_TRACKING="ignore_errors" OLLAMA_API_BASE="http://localhost:11434" ``` ## mini.yaml (defaults not included) ``` model: model_name: "ollama/deepseek-r1:8b" # cost_tracking: "ignore_errors" model_kwargs: temperature: 0.0 custom_llm_provider: "ollama" api_base: "http://localhost:11434" # drop_params: true ``` I then attempted to run a trajectory with the following prompt: ``` Generate a new C program in fib.c which calculates arbitrary Fibonacci numbers using tail recursion ``` It then hangs on "`Waiting on the LM to respond...`" I tried sending this JSON to ollama directly: ## last_mini_run.traj.json ``` { "model": { "model_name": "ollama/deepseek-r1:8b", "model_kwargs": { "temperature": 0.0, "custom_llm_provider": "ollama", "api_base": "http://localhost:11434" }, "litellm_model_registry": null, "set_cache_control": null, "cost_tracking": "ignore_errors" }, "info": { "exit_status": "EOFError", "submission": "", "model_stats": { "instance_cost": 0.0, "api_calls": 0 }, "mini_version": "1.17.1", "config": { "agent": { "system_template": "You are a helpful assistant that can interact with a computer.\n\nYour response must contain exactly ONE bash code block with ONE command (or commands connected with && or ||).\nInclude a THOUGHT section before your command where you explain your reasoning process.\nFormat your response as shown in <format_example>.\n\n<format_example>\nYour reasoning and analysis here.

Here's a test file I made from another project's suggestion:

topost.json

{
    "model": "deepseek-coder:1.3b",
    "messages": [
        {
            "role": "system",
            "content": "You are a d20 dice roller. Do not output any numbers outside the range 1-20. Use a uniform distribution to choose numbers."
        },
        {
            "role": "user",
            "content": "roll a d20."
        }
    ]
}

I then ran it with CURL, and got an interesting response (which was not rolling a d20, nor does it seem like an error):

% cat topost.json | curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST -d @- http://localhost:11434/api/generate
{"model":"deepseek-coder:1.3b","created_at":"2025-12-04T22:01:19.574329926Z","response":"","done":true,"done_reason":"load"}% 

Here's some of the output from journalctl -u ollama after running that:

This last line says "this is probably a bug in the model". I'll try another model, it's possible I just don't have enough VRAM for this. Though I figured if that was the case, it would not have let me run the model in the first place.

I'll try another model, it's possible I just don't have enough VRAM for this. Though I figured if that was the case, it would not have let me run the model in the first place.

The /api/generate endpoint does not use "messages", it uses "prompt".

$ curl -s localhost:11434/api/generate -d '{
    "model": "deepseek-coder:1.3b",
    "system": "You are a d20 dice roller. Do not output any numbers outside the range 1-20. Use a uniform distribution to choose numbers.",
    "prompt": "roll a d20.",
    "stream": false
}' | jq -r .response
As an AI, I can't physically perform actions like rolling or simulating physical events such as playing
with dice in real life but you could say that by following these steps using any random number generator
on your computer (using Python for example): 1 to 20 is the range of possible outcomes. Then choose
a single outcome randomly, and then use this method multiple times if needed until it gives all unique
numbers between 1-20 repetitively like in dice rolling simulator games or any simulation you'd want
with such random number generator would be called that out there but I can provide the steps for
anyone who wants to do so.
