Does init_chat_model not work with ollama for bind_tools?

[sameermahajan]

following code

from langchain.chat_models import init_chat_model
from langchain_core.tools import tool, InjectedToolArg
from tavily import TavilyClient
from typing_extensions import Annotated, Literal

model = init_chat_model(model="kitsonk/watt-tool-8B", model_provider="ollama", api_key="ollama")

@tool(parse_docstring=True)
def tavily_search(
    query: str,
    max_results: Annotated[int, InjectedToolArg] = 3,
    topic: Annotated[Literal["general", "news", "finance"], InjectedToolArg] = "general",
) -> str:
    """Fetch results from Tavily search API with content summarization.

    Args:
        query: A single search query to execute
        max_results: Maximum number of results to return
        topic: Topic to filter results by ('general', 'news', 'finance')

    Returns:
        Formatted string of search results with summaries
    """
    tavily_client = TavilyClient()
    result = tavily_client.search(
            query,
            max_results=max_results,
            include_raw_content=True,
            topic=topic
        )

    # Format output for consumption
    return result

model_with_tools = model.bind_tools([tavily_search])

gives an error

    model_with_tools = model.bind_tools([tavily_search])
                       ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
  File "<my venv location>\Lib\site-packages\langchain_core\language_models\chat_models.py", line 1455, in bind_tools
    raise NotImplementedError
NotImplementedError

I initially tried with model llama3.1 which gave the same error. Since ollama explicitly talks about tool support for model kitsonk/watt-tool-8B, I have tried that above.

Do chat_models in general not support tools with ollama?
