deepseek-r1 doesn't support tools?

[lunar garden]

So according to the ollama model page (https://registry.ollama.ai/library/deepseek-r1) it says it support tools, but when I download and try to use it, it tells me otherwise:

ollama._types.ResponseError: registry.ollama.ai/library/deepseek-r1:latest does not support tools (status code: 400)

Has anyone seen this mis-match before?

I personally use qwen3-4b-instruct and it's more than enough as a voice assistant, the new qwen3.5 just came out too

Thanks all. Yep, I just deployed qwen3.5:9b and it's doing pretty well so far
