Ollama with Reasoning Tools

Give an Ollama agent explicit reasoning tools and Hacker News retrieval.

Add the following code to your Python file

ollama_reasoning_tools.py
from agno.agent import Agent
from agno.models.ollama.chat import Ollama
from agno.tools.hackernews import HackerNewsTools
from agno.tools.reasoning import ReasoningTools

reasoning_agent = Agent(
    model=Ollama(id="llama3.2:latest"),
    tools=[
        ReasoningTools(
            enable_think=True,
            enable_analyze=True,
            add_instructions=True,
            add_few_shot=True,
        ),
        HackerNewsTools(),
    ],
    instructions="Use tables where possible",
    markdown=True,
)
reasoning_agent.print_response(
    "Compare the subjects of the top five Hacker News stories and include their URLs.",
    stream=True,
    show_full_reasoning=True,
)

Set up your virtual environment

uv venv --python 3.12
source .venv/bin/activate

Install dependencies

uv pip install -U agno ollama

Prepare Ollama

Install Ollama, start the local Ollama service, then download the model:

ollama pull llama3.2:latest

Keep the service running while the Python script runs. On a headless installation, start it with ollama serve in another terminal.

Run Agent

python ollama_reasoning_tools.py
