Description

I was able to set up Claude Sonnet for Chat and Edit. Autocompletions, though, just don't show up for Ollama Qwen 2.5 Autocomplete Model. I can see requests happening in Ollama Console. Some return 200, others 500. Nothing shows up in the editor.

To reproduce
  1. Install and run the Qwen 2.5 model: ollama run qwen2.5-coder:1.5b.
  2. Open a project in IDEA.
  3. Check that Settings > Tools > Continue > Enable Tab Autocomplete = on.
  4. Check that Continue > Settings > Models > Autocomplete = Qwen 2.5 Autocomplete Model.
  5. Open a TypeScript file.
  6. Type or copy
// Create a function that validates email addresses

Or

const users = [
  { name: 'John', age: 30 },

Expected: Auto-complete suggestions show up.
Actual: Nothing shows up.

Research direction

Reproduce this in IntelliJ IDEA with Ollama running qwen2.5-coder:1.5b, the Continue autocomplete setting enabled, and a TypeScript file. Start by comparing the Ollama Console requests that return 200 or 500 with the autocomplete behavior; done means suggestions appear for the provided examples without failing requests.
