+## 🦙 Ollama & Local Models
+
+litecrew works with **any OpenAI-compatible API** — including Ollama, LM Studio, vLLM, and more.
+
+```python
+import openai
+from litecrew import Agent
+
+# Point to your local Ollama server
+openai.base_url = "http://localhost:11434/v1"
+openai.api_key = "ollama"  # Ollama doesn't need a real key
+
+# Use any local model
+agent = Agent(
+    name="local",
+    model="llama3.2",  # or mistral, qwen2.5, phi3, etc.
+    system="You are a helpful assistant."
+)
+
+response = agent("Explain quantum computing in simple terms.")
+print(response)
+```
+
+**Or use environment variables:**
+
+```bash
+export OPENAI_BASE_URL="http://localhost:11434/v1"
+export OPENAI_API_KEY="ollama"
+```
+
+**Supported local providers:**
+| Provider | Base URL | Notes |
+|----------|----------|-------|
+| Ollama | `http://localhost:11434/v1` | Most popular |
+| LM Studio | `http://localhost:1234/v1` | GUI-based |
+| vLLM | `http://localhost:8000/v1` | Production-grade |
+| LocalAI | `http://localhost:8080/v1` | Docker-friendly |
+| text-generation-webui | `http://localhost:5000/v1` | With OpenAI extension |
+
+**Mix cloud and local:**
+
+```python
+# Use local for research (free), cloud for final output (quality)
+researcher = Agent("researcher", model="llama3.2")  # Local via Ollama
+writer = Agent("writer", model="gpt-4o")  # Cloud via OpenAI
+```
