### Setting the context size
The OpenAI API does not have a way of setting the context size for a model. If you need to change the context size, create a `Modelfile` which looks like:
```modelfile
FROM <some model>
PARAMETER num_ctx <context size>
```
Use the `ollama create mymodel` command to create a new model with the updated context size. Call the API with the updated model name:
```shell
curl http://localhost:11434/v1/chat/completions \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"model": "mymodel",
"messages": [
{
"role": "user",
"content": "Hello!"
}
]
}'
```
