Feature Request: Local server and system instruction presets etc.

[czkoko]

Thanks for your work, the elegant interface design and lightweight client are great.

I have a few new feature suggestions:

1. Can start an OpenAI API compatible server locally, so that the AI ​​code plugin of vs code can be used through ChatMLX.
2. Can customize a set of system instruction presets, so that you can easily switch the role that the model needs to play.
3. Can customize the model save directory. After all, the models are large and suitable for storage on an external SSD

Thank you for your suggestions. The suggestion 3 is currently in development. Suggestions 1 and 2 are also being planned.

In addition, report a few issues:

1. If you delete a message when the model is replying to it, will crash.
2. When the conversation list on the left column is cleared, if you send a message to the model, will crash.
3. mlx-community/gemma-2-9b-it-4bit has an extra string <end_of_turn> at the end.

i second all of these. I really like the look and feel of this but I can't use it atm due to it's limitations. And for some reason manually copying over the model to the system's download folders doesn't work. so i can't use predownloaded models, only what chatmlx provides. Hope we can get some of these features soon, really liking everything else so far.
