Studio: hard-stop at n_ctx with a 'Context limit reached' toast (#5021)
* Studio: hard-stop at n_ctx with a dedicated 'Context limit reached' toast

llama-server's default behavior when the KV cache fills is to silently
drop the oldest non-``n_keep`` tokens and keep generating. The UI has
no way to tell the user that earlier turns were evicted -- they just
see degraded continuity and a confusing ``5,361 / 4,096`` on the
context usage bar.

Launch llama-server with ``--no-context-shift`` so it returns a clean
error once the request would exceed ``n_ctx``. In the chat adapter,
catch the error, identify it as a context-limit error via
``isContextLimitError()``, and surface a dedicated toast that names
the exact control to adjust: the ``Context Length`` field in the chat
Settings panel.

Also add a lightweight tooltip hint on ``ContextUsageBar`` when usage
crosses 85%, so users see the "raise Context Length in Settings"
suggestion before they hit the hard stop.

Tests:

  * ``test_llama_cpp_no_context_shift.py`` pins the ``--no-context-shift``
    flag in the static launch-command template, and pins it inside the
    unconditional ``cmd = [ ... ]`` block so a future refactor can't
    hide it behind a branch.

* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks

for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci

* Shorten --no-context-shift comment to 1 line

* Match backend _friendly_error rewrite in isContextLimitError

Codex review on PR caught that ``backend/routes/inference.py::_friendly_error``
rewrites the raw llama-server text
  "request (X tokens) exceeds the available context size (Y tokens)"
into
  "Message too long: X tokens exceeds the Y-token context window. ..."
on the main streaming GGUF path. The heuristic only looked for
"context size" / "exceeds the available context" / "context shift",
none of which survive the rewrite, so the new "Context limit reached"
toast would never fire for the most common case. Add matches for
"message too long" and "context window" so both wordings hit.

Also addresses Gemini feedback on the launch-flag test:
  * Use ``inspect.getsource(LlamaCppBackend.load_model)`` instead of
    reading ``__file__`` directly; scopes the assertions to the
    function that actually launches llama-server.
  * Replace the hardcoded ``"            ]"`` indent search with a
    line-at-a-time scan for a line that is just ``]``, so the test
    survives reformatting.

unsloth studio ui homepage

Unsloth Studio (Beta) lets you run and train text, audio, embedding, vision models on Windows, Linux and macOS.

Features

Unsloth provides several key features for both inference and training:

Inference

Training

  • Train and RL 500+ models up to 2x faster with up to 70% less VRAM, with no accuracy loss.
  • Custom Triton and mathematical kernels. See some collabs we did with PyTorch and Hugging Face.
  • Data Recipes: Auto-create datasets from PDF, CSV, DOCX etc. Edit data in a visual-node workflow.
  • Reinforcement Learning (RL): The most efficient RL library, using 80% less VRAM for GRPO, FP8 etc.
  • Supports full fine-tuning, RL, pretraining, 4-bit, 16-bit and, FP8 training.
  • Observability: Monitor training live, track loss and GPU usage and customize graphs.
  • Multi-GPU training is supported, with major improvements coming soon.

Quickstart

Unsloth can be used in two ways: through Unsloth Studio, the web UI, or through Unsloth Core, the code-based version. Each has different requirements.

Unsloth Studio (web UI)

Unsloth Studio (Beta) works on Windows, Linux, WSL and macOS.

  • CPU: Supported for Chat and Data Recipes currently
  • NVIDIA: Training works on RTX 30/40/50, Blackwell, DGX Spark, Station and more
  • macOS: Currently supports chat and Data Recipes. MLX training is coming very soon
  • AMD: Chat + Data works. Train with Unsloth Core. Studio support is out soon.
  • Coming soon: Training support for Apple MLX, AMD, and Intel.
  • Multi-GPU: Available now, with a major upgrade on the way

Windows:

irm https://unsloth.ai/install.ps1 | iex

Launch

unsloth studio -H 0.0.0.0 -p 8888

Update

To update, use the same install commands as above. Or run (does not work on Windows):

unsloth studio update

Docker

Use our Docker image unsloth/unsloth container. Run:

docker run -d -e JUPYTER_PASSWORD="mypassword" \
  -p 8888:8888 -p 8000:8000 -p 2222:22 \
  -v $(pwd)/work:/workspace/work \

  unsloth/unsloth

Developer, Nightly, Uninstall

To see developer, nightly and uninstallation etc. instructions, see advanced installation.

Unsloth Core (code-based)

Linux, WSL:

curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh
uv venv unsloth_env --python 3.13
source unsloth_env/bin/activate
uv pip install unsloth --torch-backend=auto

Windows:

winget install -e --id Python.Python.3.13
winget install --id=astral-sh.uv  -e
uv venv unsloth_env --python 3.13
.\unsloth_env\Scripts\activate
uv pip install unsloth --torch-backend=auto

For Windows, pip install unsloth works only if you have PyTorch installed. Read our Windows Guide. You can use the same Docker image as Unsloth Studio.

AMD, Intel:

For RTX 50x, B200, 6000 GPUs: uv pip install unsloth --torch-backend=auto. Read our guides for: Blackwell and DGX Spark.
To install Unsloth on AMD and Intel GPUs, follow our AMD Guide and Intel Guide.

📒 Free Notebooks

Uninstall

You can uninstall Unsloth Studio by deleting its install folder usually located under $HOME/.unsloth/studio on Mac/Linux/WSL and %USERPROFILE%\.unsloth\studio on Windows. Using the rm -rf commands will delete everything, including your history, cache:

  • MacOS, WSL, Linux: rm -rf ~/.unsloth/studio
  • Windows (PowerShell): Remove-Item -Recurse -Force "$HOME\.unsloth\studio"

For more info, see our docs.

Deleting model files

You can delete old model files either from the bin icon in model search or by removing the relevant cached model folder from the default Hugging Face cache directory. By default, HF uses:

  • MacOS, Linux, WSL: ~/.cache/huggingface/hub/
  • Windows: %USERPROFILE%\.cache\huggingface\hub\
