Tool calling appears to be currently broken

Hello!

I’m currently using the rnj-1:8b-instruct-q4_K_M model locally via Ollama, integrated with Cline. While testing its capabilities, I’ve noticed that when I attempt to invoke tools in my IDE, the model responds with unexpected output (e.g., "jibberish").

I’ve also tested the web_search tool directly in the Ollama GUI, but it appears to be non-functional as well.

Does this model support tool integration? Given its strong benchmark performance, I’d expect tool functionality to be available. I’d greatly appreciate any guidance on resolving this, as I’m eager to leverage this model for my workflows.

Thank you for your time and assistance!
