TL;DR

The error message indicates that the Docker image "registry.ollama.ai/library/deepseek-r1:8b" does not support tools, suggesting a compatibility issue.

Guidance

  • Verify the Docker image version and check its documentation to see if it supports the required tools.
  • Check the API request being made to ensure it is correctly formatted and compatible with the Docker image.
  • Investigate alternative Docker images that support the necessary tools.
  • Review the error message and request ID ("req_a348cb4e95e6912902f21f68") for any additional information that may aid in troubleshooting.

Notes

The lack of information about the OS, GPU, CPU, and Ollama version makes it difficult to provide a more specific solution. Additionally, without more context about the API request and the tools being used, it's challenging to provide a definitive fix.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Use an alternative Docker image that supports the necessary tools, as the current image ("registry.ollama.ai/library/deepseek-r1:8b") does not support tools.
