This is an Ollama configuration issue, not a Continue bug. The model requires more RAM than your system has available. Solutions:

1. Use a smaller/quantized version of the model (e.g., deepseek-coder-v2:16b instead of :latest)
2. Increase available system memory
3. Configure Ollama to use less memory for context
