Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/ollama/ollama/issues/3937

It would be fantastic to have a command that clears a chat's context.

At the moment, getting a fresh context can be done with

  • /bye, then starting the client again. Few keystrokes, but long wait time for the model to be reloaded.
  • /load <model>, where <model> is the name of the most recently loaded model. Fast (same model stays in memory), but many keystrokes, especially with non-latest models.

As discussed here, it would be great to add a /load command (no parameters) which has the same effect as /load <most recent model>.

Thank you for ollama, it's awesome!

I had a desire for something like this as well. What about a command /clear that removes your chat history, or are you wanting it to keep the initial session info that could be saved in the modelfile?
