New blog post comparing how Ollama CLI, Open WebUI, and Continue.dev manage conversation context when working with local Qwen models.

Key Findings:

  • Open WebUI maintains ~18K tokens across 15 messages
  • CLI maintains ~1K tokens (last few exchanges)
  • Continue.dev sends focused code context

Before Merging:

  • Add image at /images/openwebui-context.png
  • Final review of content

Analyzes how different tools (CLI, Open WebUI, Continue.dev) manage
conversation context when working with local Qwen models. Includes
database analysis showing 18K tokens maintained across 15 messages
in Open WebUI vs ~1K tokens in CLI.

Not ready for publication - needs image and final review.
