i'm trying to use ollama with qwen 3.5:9b on an m1 pro chip macbook pro - canirun.ai says it should run well

everytime I ask a question it goes into a thinking loop for several mins, and when that's done, it gives no output. and another thing is it seems to have no memory of the conversation. every new question seems to be treated as a separate session with 0 context. is that because of this particular model? or is it just an ollama thing? is there another model that would be recommended? for reference, i'm trying to do a personal finance analysis by feeding it my bank and credit card statements

i'm new to ollama and trying to use open source models so I have no clue about how any of this works tbh so any help would be appreciated.
