Description

Hi all!

Quick question/feature request:

Can I stop running a model while it's running? (aka cancel a request) Sometimes my model takes so long to process, and new information comes in that warrants me canceling and re-prompting.

Importantly, I don't want this stopping function to unload the model from memory.

Thanks!

Research direction

Start by reviewing the existing model-call API and its request lifecycle. Determine how an in-progress call could be cancelled while keeping the model loaded, then establish a supported completion condition and verify the behavior with the relevant request path.
