Is the actual context length 32768?
I tried to launch > llama-server LFM2.5-VL-3B-Q4_0.gguf -c 131072just for testing and it reported the following:
0.02.592.680 W llama_context: n_ctx_seq (131072) > n_ctx_train (128000) -- possible training context overflow
0.03.071.738 W srv load_model: the slot context (131072) exceeds the training context of the model (128000) - capping
Are you sure the context length is limited to 32,768 as reported in the Base model card?
I'm trying to figure out if this model can be used in place of the standard LFM2.5-2.6B with the additional vision support on top or if I have to make some compromises on the context length.
