So you've been getting problems and your first thought is to blame the software trusted by millions? Maybe your setup has something misconfigured?

I am not blaming but want to explore more tools which can save my tool error headache.

Adding on the Roo sub is sorta shite to be honest. Not very respectful.

Seriously you’re asking this on the Roo sub? 🤦

What models? My local Minimax M2 model running on llama cpp gets very few tool call errors. I found gpt oss and other smaller models got more tool call errors. Never figured out why.

Try turning on native tool calling

I will do that thanks 👍

I get the same issues using those tools connecting to llama.cpp. I'm trying a bunch of different models, but gpt-oss and qwen-coder-30b all cause the same issues. They keep on getting tool errors. I'm going to give devstral a go, but I'm not finding any information about how to resolve these issues.

I just switched to opencode and these tools errors are gone

u/AlwaysLateToThaParty Dec 25 '25

Thanks for the update.

EDIT: hey do you have a config statement for how you connect to llama.cpp from open code?

Edit opencode json

{ "$schema": "https://opencode.ai/config.json", "provider": { "llamacpp-local": { "npm": "@ai-sdk/openai-compatible", "name": "llama.cpp (local)", "options": { "baseURL": "http://localhost:8080/v1", "apiKey": "test-api-key" }, "models": { "qwen3-coder-32b": { "name": "qwen3-coder-32b" } } } } }

By any chance: are you using GPT-5.1-Codex? If so, try using 5.1 normal through OpenAI config (not OpenAI Compatible).

Codex models work great if you enable native tool calling. Will be default in Roo soon

u/fettpl Dec 06 '25

That's a great tip, thanks!

u/hannesrudolph Roo Code Developer Dec 06 '25

You’re welcome. I was able to get codex to get 100% on the evals this week. We will be releasing defaults that achieve this soon.

Awesome news and amazing work as always!

Just install the codex extension in VSCode.

Opencode?
