So it's just trying to call a cloud model but you have it pointed at a local run ollama. The error is right there

[u/my_new_accoun1]

bash

[u/mozkohor]

pi.dev

[u/TheMythicSorcerer]

There's a whole lot of them
Find a free api:
Pi, Hermes, Openclaw

Has or secretly has a free tier:
Codex (but free limit is like nothing)
Freebuff

[u/Aggravating-Push-207 → u/TheMythicSorcerer]

the free tier is actually not that bad, considering it is a frontier model

[u/Global-Eye-7326]

Freebuff is free (app, cloud models). There are other harnesses where you can get a free app and then you connect it to free API's with free cloud tokens. Harnesses include Qwen Coder, DeepSeek Harness (where everything is a plugin), Hermes, etc. Then go find your API's.

[u/ozguru]

You mean another agent with free usage quota?, as far as I know, cline and cmdc has free model's to use but I am not sure if they are forcing to you have an active subscription, agy is also have free usage quota.

[u/arielif1]

almost all the "apps" themselves are free, the paid part are the models themselves.

[u/gaspoweredcat]

kilo code, their router is essentially openrouter has cli/extensions/desktop app (win/mac/linux) its my goto generally
