Ollama now ships with web search and web fetch plugin for OpenClaw. This allows Ollama’s models (local or cloud) to search the web for the latest content and news. This also allows OpenClaw with Ollama to be able to fetch the web and extract readable content for processing. This feature does not execute JavaScript.
When using local models with web search in OpenClaw, ensure you are signed into Ollama with ollama signin
ollama launch openclaw
You can install web search directly into OpenClaw as a plugin if you already have OpenClaw configured and working:
openclaw plugins install @ollama/openclaw-web-search
ollama launch can now run in non-interactive mode.
Perfect for:
Docker/containers: spin up an integration as a pipeline step to run evals, test prompts, or validate model behavior as part of your build. Tear it down when the job ends.
CI/CD: Generate code reviews, security checks, and other tasks within your CI
Scripts/automation: Kick off automated tasks with Ollama and claude code
--model must be specified to run in headless mode
--yes flag will auto-pull the model and skip any selectors
Try with: ollama launch claude --model kimi-k2.5:cloud --yes -- -p "how does this repository work?"

Update Nov 12, 2025 tracked by Updatify
Ollama’s API and OpenAI-compatible API now support log probabilities. Log probabilities of output tokens indicate the likelihood of each token occurring in the sequence given the context. This is useful for different use cases:
To enable Logprobs, provide "logprobs": true to Ollama’s API:
curl http://localhost:11434/api/generate -d '{
"model": "gemma3",
"prompt": "Why is the sky blue?",
"logprobs": true
}'
When log probabilities are requested, response chunks will now include a "logprobs" field with the token, log probability and raw bytes (for partial unicode).
{
"model": "gemma3",
"created_at": "2025-11-14T22:17:56.598562Z",
"response": "Okay",
"done": false,
"logprobs": [
{
"token": "Okay",
"logprob": -1.3434503078460693,
"bytes": [
79,
107,
97,
121
]
}
]
}
top_logprobs
When setting "top_logprobs", a number of most-likely tokens are also provided, making it possible to introspect alternative tokens. Below is an example request.
curl http://localhost:11434/api/generate -d '{
"model": "gemma3",
