```

This will prompt you to select models and automatically configure OpenCode to use Ollama.

<Accordion title="Manual Configuration">

Add the Ollama provider to `~/.config/opencode/opencode.json`:

```json
{
  "$schema": "https://opencode.ai/config.json",
  "provider": {
    "ollama": {
      "npm": "@ai-sdk/openai-compatible",
      "name": "Ollama (local)",
      "options": {
        "baseURL": "http://localhost:11434/v1"
      },
      "models": {
        "qwen3-coder": {
          "name": "qwen3-coder [Ollama]"
        }
      }
