Description
After I compile and run the latest version of the code, I can talk normally, but the auto-completion does not respond.
I got this in prompt.log:
##### Completion options #####
{
"contextLength": 8096,
"model": "qwen:0.5b",
"maxTokens": 4096,
"stop": [
"<|im_start|>",
"<|im_end|>"
]
}
##### Request options #####
{}
##### Prompt #####
<system>
Always include the language and file name in the info string when you write code blocks, for example '```python file.py'.
<user>
1
Completion:
The number "1" is a positive integer that comes after zero and before two negative integers. It represents the starting point of something or some unit system. The number "1" can be used to represent various concepts such as independence, unity, perfection, etc.

<fim_prefix>
// test.kt
class Test {
private var result: Double = 0.0
fun add(number: Double): Test {
result += number
return this

result -= number
<fim_suffix>
return this

fun multiply(number: Double): Test {
result *= number
return this

result /= number
return this

return result
}
fun reset(): Test {
result = 0.0
return this
}
}

Completion:
As you can see, there is output after chat, but no Completion in autocomplete.
Here is my config.json:
