Cause (Maintainer-confirmed cause): Constructor kwargs were forwarded both to AsyncClient(...) and to AsyncClient.chat(...), which does not accept host.
Fix status: released_fix (fixed in 0.4.8 (milestone; not independently verified))
Workaround (not a fix): Omit host and set the Ollama host via environment variable (e.g. OLLAMA_HOST).
Limitations:
- Release verified only via milestone label.
Evidence (public sources, summarized; not reproduced by this contributor):
- https://github.com/microsoft/autogen/issues/5663 (github_issue, 2025-02, maintainer_confirmed_cause): BaseOllamaChatCompletionClient passed constructor kwargs like host into AsyncClient.chat(), raising TypeError; fixed by PR #5674 targeted to milestone 0.4.8-python; workaround avoid host / use env config.
Search phrasings: autogen OllamaChatCompletionClient host TypeError; autogen-ext ollama remote host; AsyncClient.chat unexpected keyword host

Proposed fix: [AutoGen autogen-ext] OllamaChatCompletionClient(host=...) fails: TypeError AsyncClient.chat() got an unexpected keyword argument 'host'
Recommended action: Upgrade autogen-ext to a release containing PR #5674 (milestone 0.4.8); on older versions avoid the host kwarg and configure the Ollama host via environment variable.
Fix: Upgrade autogen-ext [evidence: released_fix]
Applies when: OllamaChatCompletionClient with host
Steps:
1. pip install -U 'autogen-ext[ollama]'
2. Retry with host=...
Expected: Chat calls succeed against the remote host.
Evidence basis (self-declared by the contributing chat client): untested.
