 Ollama is free and runs locally, so all model costs are set to $0.
 
+### Streaming Configuration
+
+Due to a [known issue](https://github.com/badlogic/pi-mono/issues/1205) in the underlying SDK with Ollama's response format, **streaming is disabled by default** for Ollama models. This prevents corrupted responses when using tool-capable models.
+
+When streaming is disabled, responses are delivered all at once (non-streaming mode), which avoids the issue where interleaved content/reasoning deltas cause garbled output.
+
+#### Re-enable Streaming (Advanced)
+
+If you want to re-enable streaming for Ollama (may cause issues with tool-capable models):
+
+```json5
+{
+  agents: {
+    defaults: {
+      models: {
+        "ollama/gpt-oss:20b": {
+          streaming: true,
+        },
+      },
+    },
+  },
+}
+```
+
+#### Disable Streaming for Other Providers
+
+You can also disable streaming for any provider if needed:
+
+```json5
+{
+  agents: {
+    defaults: {
+      models: {
+        "openai/gpt-4": {
+          streaming: false,
+        },
+      },
+    },
+  },
+}
+```
+
 ### Context windows
 
 For auto-discovered models, OpenClaw uses the context window reported by Ollama when available, otherwise it defaults to `8192`. You can override `contextWindow` and `maxTokens` in explicit provider config.

+### Corrupted responses or tool names in output
+
+If you see garbled responses containing tool names (like `sessions_send`, `memory_get`) or fragmented text when using Ollama models, this is due to an upstream SDK issue with streaming responses. **This is fixed by default** in the latest OpenClaw version by disabling streaming for Ollama models.
+
+If you manually enabled streaming and experience this issue:
+
+1. Remove the `streaming: true` configuration from your Ollama model entries, or
+2. Explicitly set `streaming: false` for Ollama models (see [Streaming Configuration](#streaming-configuration))
