pi-ollama-cloud-models

A pi extension that auto-registers Ollama Cloud models so they appear in /model without manually editing config.

pi-ollama-cloud-models is a pi extension that keeps your Ollama Cloud model list up to date automatically. It fetches the models available on ollama.com and registers them under a dedicated ollama-cloud provider, so they show up in /model without manually editing ~/.pi/agent/models.json.

Cloud models are reached through your local Ollama daemon (http://127.0.0.1:11434/v1) using the :cloud / -cloud suffix, so the extension is non-destructive and does not touch any existing Ollama provider you have configured.

What it does

  • Registers an ollama-cloud provider populated from https://ollama.com/v1/models.
  • Enriches each model with capabilities and context length from https://ollama.com/api/show.
  • Caches the list for 1 hour and falls back to a stale cache if the network is down.
  • Adds a /ollama-cloud-refresh command to force-refresh the list on demand.

Install it with:

pi install npm:pi-ollama-cloud-models

Or try it without installing:

pi -e npm:pi-ollama-cloud-models
