A user on Reddit's r/LocalLLaMA community is seeking solutions for managing long-context sessions in llama.cpp after restarting the application. They describe the inconvenience of re-prefetching large contexts, which can take several minutes, and propose an ideal scenario where the inference server automatically saves and restores conversation states to disk. The user notes that while some tools like llama-server offer save/restore APIs, a more integrated, server-side solution would be beneficial, especially for hardware with slower prefill times. They inquire if others have experimented with such transparent state management for popular models. AI
