How to run the agent platform fully on a local model with Pilot Deck

Point Pilot Deck at Ollama through its OpenAI compatible protocol so the agent runs on your own machine with no cloud API key.

Short answer: Install Pilot Deck and Ollama; then start Ollama with ollama serve; Pull a model: ollama pull qwen3:0.6b, or a larger one your hardware can run. All steps.

Who it is forA privacy-minded developer or tinkerer who wants to try an agent workspace without sending prompts or files to a cloud model.

The problemAgent platforms usually assume a paid cloud API, which costs money and sends your data off the machine.

The outcomePilot Deck using a model served by Ollama at localhost:11434, configured in one YAML file, for small local tasks.

What you need first

  • Node.js v22.13.0 or newer and below v23
  • pnpm via corepack
  • A model provider key, or Ollama for local models

Steps

  1. Install Pilot Deck and Ollama
  2. Start Ollama with ollama serve
  3. Pull a model: ollama pull qwen3:0.6b, or a larger one your hardware can run
  4. 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
  5. Restart Pilot Deck with pilotdeck and open http://localhost:3001
  6. Run a small task in a new WorkSpace and check the replies come from the local model

Prompt for your agent

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.

Caveat. qwen3:0.6b is tiny; long or complex tasks need a much larger model.
