Description

Codestral response via ollama has suddenly become very slow with latest updates, its at least 4 times slower when compared to response timings from other other apps like open-webui, curl are very fast. Other models like deepseek-coder-v2 is working fine in Continue.

To reproduce

1. Setup Continue to use Codestral for chat and tabautocomplete.
2. Watch the the logs for ollama e.g. in docker its docker logs --follow ollama
3. Open Continue chat and give any prompt.
4. Note response time in the ollama logs and notice the latency in the chat.
5. Give the same prompt in curl or in open-webui to Codestral and note the response time.

Log output

Note: Model is already loaded in VRAM before testing.

Issue seems to be related to context size https://github.com/continuedev/continue/issues/1776 , setting new session in chat makes Codestral usable but still not as fast as open-webui.

Can confirm this. Codestral is extremly slow (one word per ~20 seconds) in Continue, while it is blazing fast using ollama's direct console. A striking difference

P.S. Yep, looks like adjusting context size fixes this.
