Overview

A chat client for interacting with Ollama models through a terminal interface.

The Chat class provides a complete command-line interface for chatting with language models via the Ollama API. It handles configuration management, message history, document processing, web searching, and various interactive features including voice output, markdown rendering, and embedding capabilities.

Examples:

Initializing a chat session

chat = OllamaChat::Chat.new(argv: ['-m', 'llama3.1'])

Starting an interactive chat

chat.start

Constructor Details

#initialize(argv: ARGV.dup) ⇒ Chat

Initializes a new OllamaChat::Chat instance with the given command-line arguments.

Sets up the chat environment including configuration parsing, Ollama client initialization, model selection, system prompt handling, document processing setup, and history management. This method handles all the bootstrapping necessary to create a functional chat session that can communicate with an Ollama server and process various input types including text, documents, web content, and images.

The initialization process includes parsing command-line options using Tins::GO for robust argument handling, setting up the Ollama client with configurable timeouts (connect, read, write), validating Ollama API version compatibility (requires >= 0.9.0 for features used), configuring model selection based on command-line or configuration defaults, initializing system prompts from files or inline content, setting up document processing pipeline with embedding capabilities through Documentrix::Documents, creating message history management through OllamaChat::MessageList, initializing cache systems for document embeddings, setting up voice support and image handling for multimodal interactions, enabling optional server socket functionality for remote input, and handling configuration errors with interactive recovery mechanisms.

Parameters:

  • argv (Array<String>) (defaults to: ARGV.dup) —

    Command-line arguments to parse (defaults to ARGV.dup)

Raises:

  • (RuntimeError) —

    If the Ollama API version is less than 0.9.0, indicating incompatibility with required API features

Instance Attribute Details

#cache ⇒ OllamaChat::RedisCache? (readonly)

Provides read-only access to the cache instance used by the object.

Returns:

def cache
  @cache
end

#documents ⇒ Documentrix::Documents (readonly)

Returns the documents set for this object, initializing it lazily if needed.

The documents set is memoized, meaning it will only be created once per object instance and subsequent calls will return the same Documentrix::Documents instance.

Returns:

  • (Documentrix::Documents) —

    A Documentrix::Documents object containing all documents associated with this instance

end

#images ⇒ Array (readonly)

Returns the list of images currently queued for the next message.

Returns:

  • (Array) —

def images
  @images
end

#messages ⇒ OllamaChat::MessageList (readonly)

Returns the messages set for this object, initializing it lazily if needed.

The messages set is memoized, meaning it will only be created once per object instance and subsequent calls will return the same OllamaChat::MessageList instance.

Returns:

  OC::OLLAMA::CHAT::DEBUG
end

#generate(system: raw_system_prompt, prompt:) ⇒ String

Sends a structured chat request to the Ollama model and returns the response content.

This method creates a minimal conversation consisting of a system message and a user message, executing it as a one-shot chat interaction.

(defaults to current raw_system_prompt)

Parameters:

  • system (String) (defaults to: raw_system_prompt) —

    the system prompt to guide the model's behavior

  • prompt (String) —

    the user prompt to send to the model

Returns:

  • (String) —

    the content of the resulting response message
