I’m currently shopping around for something a bit faster than ollama and because I could not get it to use a different context and output length, which seems to be a known and long ignored issue. Somehow everything I’ve tried so far did miss one or more critical features, like:

  • “Hot” model replacement, so loading and unloading models on demand
  • Function calling
  • Support of most models
  • OpenAI API compatibility (to work well with Open WebUI)

I’d be happy about any recommendations!

    Ummm… did you try /set parameter num_ctx # and /set parameter num_predict #? Are you using a model that actually supports the context length that you desire…?

      Yeah, but there are many open issues on GitHub related to these settings not working right. I’m using the API, and just couldn’t get it to work. I used a request to generate a json file, and it never generated one longer than about 500 lines. With the same model on vllm, it worked instantly and generated about 2000 lines
