Dynamic Context Window Size for Ollama Chat (#6582)

# Dynamic Context Window Size for Ollama Chat

## Problem Statement
Previously, the Ollama chat implementation used a fixed context window
size of 32768 tokens. This caused two main issues:
1. Performance degradation due to unnecessarily large context windows
for small conversations
2. Potential business logic failures when using smaller fixed sizes
(e.g., 2048 tokens)

## Solution
Implemented a dynamic context window size calculation that:
1. Uses a base context size of 8192 tokens
2. Applies a 1.2x buffer ratio to the total token count
3. Adds multiples of 8192 tokens based on the buffered token count
4. Implements a smart context size update strategy

## Implementation Details

### Token Counting Logic
```python
def count_tokens(text):
    """Calculate token count for text"""
    # Simple calculation: 1 token per ASCII character
    # 2 tokens for non-ASCII characters (Chinese, Japanese, Korean, etc.)
    total = 0
    for char in text:
        if ord(char) < 128:  # ASCII characters
            total += 1
        else:  # Non-ASCII characters
            total += 2
    return total
```

### Dynamic Context Calculation
```python
def _calculate_dynamic_ctx(self, history):
    """Calculate dynamic context window size"""
    # Calculate total tokens for all messages
    total_tokens = 0
    for message in history:
        content = message.get("content", "")
        content_tokens = count_tokens(content)
        role_tokens = 4  # Role marker token overhead
        total_tokens += content_tokens + role_tokens

    # Apply 1.2x buffer ratio
    total_tokens_with_buffer = int(total_tokens * 1.2)
    
    # Calculate context size in multiples of 8192
    if total_tokens_with_buffer <= 8192:
        ctx_size = 8192
    else:
        ctx_multiplier = (total_tokens_with_buffer // 8192) + 1
        ctx_size = ctx_multiplier * 8192
    
    return ctx_size
```

### Integration in Chat Method
```python
def chat(self, system, history, gen_conf):
    if system:
        history.insert(0, {"role": "system", "content": system})
    if "max_tokens" in gen_conf:
        del gen_conf["max_tokens"]
    try:
        # Calculate new context size
        new_ctx_size = self._calculate_dynamic_ctx(history)
        
        # Prepare options with context size
        options = {
            "num_ctx": new_ctx_size
        }
        # Add other generation options
        if "temperature" in gen_conf:
            options["temperature"] = gen_conf["temperature"]
        if "max_tokens" in gen_conf:
            options["num_predict"] = gen_conf["max_tokens"]
        if "top_p" in gen_conf:
            options["top_p"] = gen_conf["top_p"]
        if "presence_penalty" in gen_conf:
            options["presence_penalty"] = gen_conf["presence_penalty"]
        if "frequency_penalty" in gen_conf:
            options["frequency_penalty"] = gen_conf["frequency_penalty"]
            
        # Make API call with dynamic context size
        response = self.client.chat(
            model=self.model_name,
            messages=history,
            options=options,
            keep_alive=60
        )
        return response["message"]["content"].strip(), response.get("eval_count", 0) + response.get("prompt_eval_count", 0)
    except Exception as e:
        return "**ERROR**: " + str(e), 0
```

## Benefits
1. **Improved Performance**: Uses appropriate context windows based on
conversation length
2. **Better Resource Utilization**: Context window size scales with
content
3. **Maintained Compatibility**: Works with existing business logic
4. **Predictable Scaling**: Context growth in 8192-token increments
5. **Smart Updates**: Context size updates are optimized to reduce
unnecessary model reloads

## Future Considerations
1. Fine-tune buffer ratio based on usage patterns
2. Add monitoring for context window utilization
3. Consider language-specific token counting optimizations
4. Implement adaptive threshold based on conversation patterns
5. Add metrics for context size update frequency
