Feature Request: Multi session chat support

[BigCatGit]

Prerequisites

• I am running the latest code. Mention the version if possible as well.
• I carefully followed the README.md.
• I searched using keywords relevant to my issue to make sure that I am creating a new issue that is not already open (or closed).
• I reviewed the Discussions, and have a new and useful enhancement to share.

Feature Description

After running the llama3 model and using curl for simultaneous conversations, I received responses that were queued instead of running simultaneously. I hope to support the processing of multiple sessions like multithreading

Motivation

Implement local multi session chat

Possible Implementation

No response

See #5762 and #4216 for more discussion of (possibly-related) server improvements.

Looking at #5794 it appears that this feature may already be added.

When running the server, did you set the --threads-http parameter? Setting this to >1 looks like it may enable you to process multiple requests simultaneously? (disclaimer: I have not yet attempted this myself, so please let me know if I misunderstood your report, your request, or the current server capabilities)

Try setting --cont-batching and --parallel 2. (edit: looks like --cont-batching is already enabled by default, so you should just need to set --parallel?)
