It's possible in interactive mode using /clear. Would be good to have via the API too.

Hi @atalw the API does not hold the context. It's entirely held in the client and passed to the server for each request. To get the same functionality:

  • for /api/generate don't pass back the old prompt; and
  • for /api/chat don't pass back the old messages array

Hi, can you please let me know how to send context in current api call. I mean I want to implement the exactly opposite of what you are saying in this answer.
Pls help me out I'm unable to use context parameter. If possible pls provide a code example
Thanks.

Can you guys please tell me (if possible with a code example) how to use context (list of numbers) which we get from current response in next response?

Everytime I'm hitting Ollama API it's generating general answers, not related to the conversation history, I mean, I think it's not using previous responses context .
Please help me out
Thanks
