fix(llama.cpp): disable infinite context shifting
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Infinite context loop might as well trigger an infinite loop of context
shifting if the model hallucinates and does not stop answering.
This has the unpleasant effect that the predicion never terminates,
which is the case especially on small models which tends to hallucinate.

Workarounds #1333 by removing
context-shifting.
