When does this happen?

IF Calling llm.bind_tools() on a ChatOllama instance raises AttributeError: 'ChatOllama' object has no attribute 'bind_tools'.

How others solved it

THEN ChatOllama does not implement bind_tools. To use tool calling with Ollama models, switch to OllamaFunctions from langchain_experimental or use a different chat model (e.g., ChatOpenAI, ChatMistral) that supports bind_tools. Alternatively, wait for an update to langchain-core (>=0.1.41) which will provide a clearer error, but the feature may still not be available until ChatOllama implements it.
