Try other context lengths

Run it with Ollama

With Ollama installed, one command downloads and starts Qwen2.5 Coder 7B:

ollama run qwen2.5-coder:7b

Ollama's default download is Q4_K_M (about 5.7 GB here). You have room for FP16, which is full quality: pick that GGUF in LM Studio or from Hugging Face.
