4096 might be a bit too restrictive, wondering if we should do 8192 |
We can do it. It would take around 20% more memory in 8192 (attached image below). 
Wondering if it would concern the users? Or should we put a user facing setting which can configure this num_ctx parameter (it also helps users know its changeable)? |

I think 20% is fine, 4096 makes sense for text in text out but for an agent application it's too restrictive |

Summary by cubic
Use Ollama’s actual context length: we now default to 4096 (Ollama’s config) and use the model-provided value when available, instead of Continue’s 32,768. This prevents overestimating the token window and aligns with CON-3817.
