### Areas of improvement
- [x] Use Java-naming conventions for attributes in the request/response models instead of the
snake-case conventions. (
possibly with Jackson-mapper's `@JsonProperty`)
- [x] Fix deprecated HTTP client code
- [x] Setup logging
- [x] Use lombok
- [x] Update request body creation with Java objects
- [ ] Async APIs for images
- [ ] Add custom headers to requests
- [x] Add additional params for `ask` APIs such as:
- [x] `options`: additional model parameters for the Modelfile such as `temperature` -
Supported [params](https://github.com/jmorganca/ollama/blob/main/docs/modelfile.md#valid-parameters-and-values).
- [x] `system`: system prompt to (overrides what is defined in the Modelfile)
- [x] `template`: the full prompt or prompt template (overrides what is defined in the Modelfile)
- [x] `context`: the context parameter returned from a previous request, which can be used to keep a
short
conversational memory
- [x] `stream`: Add support for streaming responses from the model
- [ ] Add test cases
- [ ] Handle exceptions better (maybe throw more appropriate exceptions)
