📄 Description

  • add a new /api/chat API endpoint that takes an array of message objects. This endpoint is an alternative to /api/generate.
  • deprecate generation context and template, but continue to support them
  • rebuild chat content from messages

This changes adds a /api/chat endpoint to the API which takes an array of messages. This makes modifying and tracking the history on the fly much simpler. It is an alternative to prompt/response.

context will continue to work as expected for now, but at some point in the future we may want to replace it completely with /api/chat.

curl -X POST http://localhost:11434/api/generate -d '{
    "model": "mistral",
    "prompt": "hello, how are you?"
}'

OR

### Basic generate request with messages
curl -X POST http://localhost:11434/api/chat -d '{
    "model": "mistral",
    "messages": [
        {
            "role": "user",
            "content": "why is the sky blue?"
        }
    ]
}'

resolves #981
resolves #1203
