Ollama - Gemma 3 - "Assist" not working (but "no control" do)

[maglat]

The problem

Gemma 3 just released. In my setup I have a dedicated LLM server running Ollama as backend to server HA with LLMs. I just updated Ollama to the latest version 0.6 to get Gemma 3 running. I integrated Gemma 3 via the Ollama integration. When I try to use Gemma 3 with "not control" selected, it is actually working and provide responses. As soon I select "Assist" it always give me this error “ Unexpected error during intent recognition”. According to the Gemma 3 data sheet, function calling is supported.
