Why Chat API does not include message in the response body?

Generate API does include the response, is there any reason to omit it here?

Hi @AugustDev are you looking for the message in the final response body? Would you be able to give me an example? This is a new endpoint so I appreciate the feedback.

the response structure for the endpoint /api/chat is not the same as /api/generate it's not response but message

/api/chat

{"model":"mistral","created_at":"2023-12-12T20:29:02.010018961Z","message":{"role":"assistant","content":"\n"},"done":false}

/api/generate

{"model":"llama2","created_at":"2023-12-12T20:32:21.667986258Z","response":"The","done":false}

It's not a bug

Best.

Hi @AugustDev, the chat api returns a message since it's an object (vs the response text), this is by design. Let me know if you encounter any more issues
