Hi @taozhiyuai, you can do /save <name> and /load <name> to save a new model with the system prompt you've set with /set system. Hope this helps!

<!-- gh-comment-id:2109049867 --> @jmorganca commented on GitHub (May 14, 2024): Hi @taozhiyuai, you can do `/save <name>` and `/load <name>` to save a new model with the system prompt you've set with `/set system`. Hope this helps!

I see. it works. so the help information should be modified. Not to "load a session" or "save ... session". it should be "load a model" and "save ... model". I misunderstand the help which may mean load and save a conversation between me and LLM. @_@

/load Load a session or model
/save Save your current session
