Sounds like you need to raise the tokens so it can remember what you are doing.

I host locally using llama.cpp on a i9 64 GB ram Dell 5280 workstation and two RTX 3060 GPUs with 12 GB each. llama.cpp utilizes both GPUs to give me a combined 24 GB of vram. I created a new door called Quantasia that uses both cloud and local LLMs, and I like the response times of llama.cpp thatQuantasia achieves when hitting a local bot based on it.
