Theia AI / Ollama documentation outdated

[xpomul]

Hi,

the Theia AI (user) documentation at https://theia-ide.org/docs/user_ai/#ollama is outdated. I will try to improve it in the next days. But before I do that, one question:

It is mentioned there:

Some models on Ollama support using an OpenAI compatible API. In this case, we recommend using the “Theia AI provider for OpenAI Compatible Models”

Can anyone clarify the rationale of this note? Is it because the Ollama adapter did not support streaming tool calls?

In other words: is this note obsolete after the merge of PR #15795 ?

best,
Stefan

Hi,

the missing streaming support for tool calls was one reason. In general, the Ollama Provider was much less tested compared to the OpenAI Provider. If you use it continuously and if you can join the preview tests of new releases, I am fine with removing this note.

Hi,

thanks for the clarification. I have opened the PR now: eclipse-theia/theia-website#802

I can't really say how much I will be using the Ollama connector in the future, so I have left the note about the OpenAI connector in there, but added a bit more details for explanation.
