THEN Explicitly set the manager_llm parameter to an Ollama LLM instance when using hierarchical process with Ollama. Create an LLM object with model='ollama/<model>' and base_url='http://site_1:11434', then pass it as manager_llm to the Crew constructor. Do not rely solely on manager_agent.

manager_llm = LLM(model='ollama/phi4', base_url='http://localhost:11434')
crew = Crew(tasks=[task], agents=[researcher, writer], process=Process.hierarchical, manager_llm=manager_llm)
