 "title": "Run the agent platform fully on a local model",
 "page_title": "How to run the agent platform fully on a local model with Pilot Deck",
 "summary": "Point Pilot Deck at Ollama through its OpenAI compatible protocol so the agent runs on your own machine with no cloud API key.",
 "who": "A privacy-minded developer or tinkerer who wants to try an agent workspace without sending prompts or files to a cloud model.",
 "problem": "Agent platforms usually assume a paid cloud API, which costs money and sends your data off the machine.",
 "outcome": "Pilot Deck using a model served by Ollama at localhost:11434, configured in one YAML file, for small local tasks.",
 "steps": [
  "Install Pilot Deck and Ollama",
  "Start Ollama with `ollama serve`",
  "Pull a model: `ollama pull qwen3:0.6b`, or a larger one your hardware can run",
  "In ~/.pilotdeck/pilotdeck.yaml set agent model to ollama/qwen3:0.6b and add an ollama provider with protocol openai and url http://localhost:11434/v1",
  "Restart Pilot Deck with `pilotdeck` and open http://localhost:3001",
  "Run a small task in a new WorkSpace and check the replies come from the local model"
 ],
 "agent_prompt": "Configure OpenBMB/PilotDeck to use Ollama with <model>, following the README's ollama YAML example. Restart it, run a short test task, and tell me whether the model is fast enough on this machine.",
 "agents": [
  "any"
 ],
 "difficulty": "Intermediate",
 "time": "30 minutes",
 "basis": "readme",
 "caveat": "qwen3:0.6b is tiny; long or complex tasks need a much larger model.",

 "requirements": [
  "Node.js v22.13.0 or newer and below v23",
