Running with local Ollama Error

[cjromero]

Greetings,

Quick notes:

• Fetched the code from the main branch today (2025/2/22)
• Local ollama runs fine with other clients and local request
• I'm able to access the http://localhost:8000 and summit a research request

I tried the following two configurations for .env as specified in the documentation (modifying for my local ollama address and LLM models installed)

OPENAI_API_KEY="123"
OPENAI_API_BASE="http://127.0.0.1:11434/v1"
OLLAMA_BASE_URL="http://127.0.0.1:11434/"
FAST_LLM="ollama:qwen2:1.5b"
SMART_LLM="ollama:qwen2:1.5b"
EMBEDDING="ollama:all-minilm:22m"

and

OLLAMA_BASE_URL=http://localhost:11434
FAST_LLM="ollama:llama3"
SMART_LLM="ollama:llama3"
STRATEGIC_LLM="ollama:llama3"

EMBEDDING="ollama:nomic-embed-text

I'm getting the following error in the command line when I summit a research request.

File "C:\Users\romero\anaconda3\Lib\site-packages\openai_client.py", line 110, in init
raise OpenAIError(
openai.OpenAIError: The api_key client option must be set either by passing api_key to the client or by setting the OPENAI_API_KEY environment variable

Thanks for any help!
