Bug Report

Feature Area: Additional LLM Backends — Local Model Support
Severity: High (spec requirement not implemented)
Found by: UAT Testing (uat-pool-1, worker: additional-llm-backends)


What Was Tested

The specification states that CleverAgents supports local models via local-llm as one of the core provider integrations. I examined the entire src/cleveragents/providers/ directory to verify this.

Expected Behavior (from spec)

The spec describes:

  • Provider Registry: Central catalog for all LLM providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, local models via local-llm)
  • Local models should be configurable and usable as a provider

Actual Behavior

No local model provider exists. Specifically:

  1. src/cleveragents/providers/llm/ contains only:

    • anthropic_provider.py
    • google_provider.py
    • langchain_chat_provider.py
    • openai_provider.py
    • openrouter_provider.py

    There is no ollama_provider.py, local_provider.py, or any local-model adapter.

  2. ProviderType enum in registry.py does not include a LOCAL, OLLAMA, or LOCAL_LLM value.

  3. The PROVIDER_KEY_ATTRS mapping has no entry for local models.

  4. The FALLBACK_ORDER list does not include any local provider.

  5. No local_only flag in ModelProviderConfigSchema is wired to any actual local provider implementation.

Code Location

  • src/cleveragents/providers/llm/ — missing local provider file
  • src/cleveragents/providers/registry.pyProviderType enum, PROVIDER_KEY_ATTRS, FALLBACK_ORDER

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Set CLEVERAGENTS_DEFAULT_PROVIDER=local or CLEVERAGENTS_DEFAULT_PROVIDER=ollama
  2. Attempt to create an AI provider via ProviderRegistry.create_ai_provider()
  3. Observe: ValueError: Unknown provider type: local

Impact

Users who want to run CleverAgents with local models (e.g., Ollama, LM Studio, or any OpenAI-compatible local server) cannot do so. This is a spec-required feature for v3.6.0.

Suggested Fix

Implement a LocalChatProvider (or OllamaProvider) that:

  1. Uses ChatOllama from langchain_ollama or ChatOpenAI with a custom base_url pointing to the local server
  2. Adds ProviderType.LOCAL (or ProviderType.OLLAMA) to the enum
  3. Wires it into PROVIDER_KEY_ATTRS (using OLLAMA_BASE_URL or similar env var instead of an API key)
  4. Adds it to FALLBACK_ORDER and DEFAULT_CAPABILITIES

Issue triaged by project owner:

  • State: Verified
  • Priority: High — Local model support (Ollama/local-llm) is missing from the provider registry. This is a significant gap for users who want to run models locally without API keys.
  • Milestone: v3.2.0 (already assigned — correct)
  • Story Points: 5 — L — Adding a new provider type to the registry with proper configuration and testing, 1-2 days.
  • MoSCoW: MoSCoW/Should have — Local model support is important for developer experience and offline use cases. The spec likely mentions provider extensibility. Should be included in v3.2.0 if capacity allows.
  • Parent Epic: Needs linking to appropriate v3.2.0 provider Epic

Valid UAT bug. Local model support is a meaningful capability gap.
