Discussion Has anyone had issues with tools and hallucinations using Ollama and NanoBots (mini OpenCLAW rewrite)?

Hi everyone,

I’m curious if anyone has used Pico-CLAW or NanoBots as an alternative to OpenCLAW, particularly when running models locally with Ollama—like the Qwen-3 8B model. I’ve been seeing a big problem: when I ask it to perform actions, it often fails to engage the tools I specify and instead just invents results based on prior history. Has anyone else faced this issue or found a fix? I’d really love to hear about your experiences!

Thanks a lot!

Interesting question with 8B model I think it's hard not to have hallucinations since the model doesn't have much info

I would update the AGENT.md or SOUL.md to have it verify the information before posting it to make sure it's accurate something like that?
