What issue are you seeing?

When I try to interact with the Codex CLI, I see the warning message in the attached screenshot and quoted below. This was not a problem before using the 0.114.0 version of codex cli.

⚠ Model metadata for gpt-oss:20b not found. Defaulting to fallback metadata; this
can degrade performance and cause issues.

As the message notes, performance is degraded severely and it appears that when I try to interact with the agent after the message, that features like "plan mode" are not usable and the agent completely loses track of its goal.

Relevant config:

model = "gpt-oss:20b"
model_provider = "ollama"

[model_providers.ollama]
baseURL = "http://localhost:11434/v1"
name = "Ollama"

I have not found a workaround. I have found seemingly related issues (see list below), but none of the workarounds discussed there are working for me.

• Model metadata for gpt-5-codex not found. Defaulting to fallback metadata; this can degrade performance and cause issues #12100 (I have tried feeding a relevant model_catalog_json path to the config)
• ollama launch codex - ⚠ Model metadata for gpt-oss:20b not found. Defaulting to fallback metadata; this can degrade performance and cause issues. ollama/ollama#14752 (duplicate issue on the ollama repo)
• find_model_by_namespaced_suffix rejects hyphens in namespace, breaking custom provider slugs like llm-gateway/gpt-5.4 #14276 (I have tried using a model with an un-hyphenated name)

What steps can reproduce the bug?

Open codex cli v0.114.0 configured to use gpt-oss:20b with ollama 0.17.7. Chat with the agent and see the message.

What is the expected behavior?

No warning message, agent stays on task.
