No header support for Ollama? (401 - Unauthorized)

[solidprinciples]

I use an external ollama API (ollama cloud), which requires an authorization bearer token to be sent. I've seen examples for custom endpoints using headers (and have tried to get it working via their OpenAI compatible endpoint - no dice).

I am looking for a way to add in headers for the Ollama models, such that I can send the authorization header correctly.

Current my-models.yml

version: v0.1
providers:
  - name: Ollama
    models:
      - name: deepseek-v3.1:671b
        ollama_host: https://ollama.com/
      - name: glm-4.6
        ollama_host: https://ollama.com/
      - name: gpt-oss:120b
        ollama_host: https://ollama.com/
      - name: gpt-oss:20b
        ollama_host: https://ollama.com/
      - name: kimi-k2:1t
        ollama_host: https://ollama.com/
      - name: qwen3-coder:480b
        ollama_host: https://ollama.com/
      - name: qwen3-vl:235b
        ollama_host: https://ollama.com/

Hi if you need to define custom authorization headers, you can edit the yaml to add a custom model like this in $HOME/.aitk/models/my-models.yml.

version: v0.1
providers:
  - name: Custom
    models:
      - name: test-model
        chat_completion_url: https://localhost:11434/v1/chat/completions
        headers:
          Authorization: Bearer ****************
        api_model_name: test-model
