Note that Qwen3 and Deepseek are hobbled in Ollama; they cannot use tools as the tool portion of the system prompt is missing.

Recommendation: use something else to run the model. Ollama is convenient, but insufficient for tool use for these models.

Could you give a recommendation that works instead of saying what doesn't work?

Try LM Studio or llama-server: https://simonwillison.net/2025/Aug/19/gpt-oss-with-llama-cpp...

I would, but I haven't found a working solution.
