## Customize Context Length (Optional)

Currently Ollama does not provide exact context length for each model, so if you want to control **max tokens** (or context length) parameter,  you might need to enter that value manually for every Ollama model. Follow below steps to do so.

Go to **MindMac** -> **Settings...** -> **Account** or press <mark style="color:purple;">**⌘**</mark> + <mark style="color:purple;">**,**</mark> to open Account Setting.

Click on the brain icon to show Ollama model list.

Click on the edit button.

Enter max tokens value for that model and click **Save** to finish.

To get max tokens value for each model, you can find in configuration file (**config.json** for example) of that model on Hugging Face. For instance, with the model [Mixtral-8x7B-Instruct-v0.1](https://huggingface.co/mistralai/Mixtral-8x7B-Instruct-v0.1) , you can go to <https://huggingface.co/mistralai/Mixtral-8x7B-Instruct-v0.1/blob/main/config.json> and grab the value **max\_position\_embeddings** as its context length. Kindly be aware that there is no standard specifying which key determines the context length of a model in the model configuration file.
