Why is there a 4k ctx limit?

I am using omlx, but the maximum size of the ctx is only 4096. I don’t know why there is this limitation. Is it due to omlx or dflash?

It shouldn't. The latest DFlash draft model with SWA layers has been able to support much longer context length ( In my test it still works with 100K context length when using Claude Code). So this is omlx issue, they should remove this limit.

You can start the regular oMLX application in a terminal with whatever context that you want for DFlash by using its environment variable. For example, for contexts up to 8192, use the following: DFLASH_MAX_CTX=8193 /Applications/oMLX.app/Contents/MacOS/omlx-cli serve

I think they're soon adding an option for the DFlash context in the UI.
