Multi-User Chat Generation

[kevinthedang]

Issue

• When multiple people want to talk with the bot at the same time, it will not run them asynchronously. Refer to image below.
• This applies to both streaming and non-streaming from the #52 PR and for both messaging styles.

Solution

• Implement some kind of thing that allows the bot client to run things asynchronously.
• Implement proxy server to handle multiple Ollama containers (refer to notes)

Notes

• This will be problematic as multiple instances of Ollama might be required to make this work if the method does not include "streaming."
• Streaming allows for the generation to come dynamically and while it finishes server-side, it can work on another person while completing another users response.
  • This also needs to be handled as per this issue.
• A "proxy server" might be needed to make this happen.
  • Note: We will need to know # of Ollama containers on startup

Looks like as of May, the developers made it possible to create this feature (refer below).

Another possibility of this was mentioned back on Jan. 31st is still possible and I believe was mentioned above. The use of proxies can be on the table if needed.

With Ollama v0.2.0, concurreny and parallel generation is possible for the bot.

Likely no implementation is needed, but that will need to be tested. Likely close this after #82 is resolved.

Looks like Concurrency works as intended outside the box.

This can be closed with #82 now

Something I did not read about initially when 0.2.0 was release but we might have to have some kind of implementation that allows user to select:

1. OLLAMA_MAX_LOADED_MODELS - How many models allowed to be active in a given time period.
2. OLLAMA_NUM_PARALLEL - How many concurrent requests per model

Might be an issue we should create as a new feature. Possibly done through Slash Commands?

• Note: Concurrency is automatic as noted, but too lazy at the moment to know on maxes for it right now.
