ollamaApiClient.StreamCompletion no longer there?

[chrisnieboer]

I have seen quite a few examples where the OllamaApiClient has a method all StreamCompletion. Was this deprecated in a later release? if so what is the proper way to send a request and have it return a ConversationContext?

Yes, with version 3, I streamlined the method names to match the Ollama API.

Using the context has been deprecated by the Ollama team in favor for the /chat endpoint for which I would recommend using the Chat class which is automatically tracking a message history for you.

// set up the client
var uri = new Uri("http://localhost:11434");
var ollama = new OllamaApiClient(uri);

// select a model which should be used for further operations
ollama.SelectedModel = "llama3.1:8b";

var chat = new Chat(ollama);
while (true)
{
    var message = Console.ReadLine();
    await foreach (var answerToken in chat.SendAsync(message))
        Console.Write(answerToken);
}
// messages including their roles and tool calls will automatically be tracked within the chat object
// and are accessible via the Messages property
