Unable to set keep_alive parameter

[harshachopra507]

Hi,
I am using ollama.AsyncClient() for parallel processing of documents. I am setting keep_alive parameter from ollama.AsyncClient().chat(keep_alive=-1).

I have also tried setting env variable, os.environ["OLLAMA_KEEP_ALIVE"] = "-1"

While checking ollama ps from the terminal, I see connective alive UNTIL 5 minutes (which is default). While running python script, after 5 minutes the code is getting stuck because ollama models running using ollama python client is getting stopped.

How can I resolve this issue?
