# firstAI - Multimodal AI Backend 🚀

A powerful AI backend service with **multimodal capabilities** and **advanced deployment support** - supporting both text generation and image analysis using transformers pipelines.

## 🎉 Features

### 🤖 Configurable AI Models

- **Default Text Model**: Microsoft DialoGPT-medium (deployment-friendly)
- **Advanced Models**: Support for quantized models (Unsloth, 4-bit, GGUF)
- **Environment Configuration**: Runtime model selection via environment variables
- **Quantization Support**: Automatic 4-bit quantization with fallback mechanisms

### 🖼️ Multimodal Support

- Process text-only messages
- Analyze images from URLs
- Combined image + text conversations

# Gemma 3n GGUF FastAPI Backend (Hugging Face Space)

This Space provides an OpenAI-compatible chat API for Gemma 3n GGUF models, powered by FastAPI.

**Note:** On Hugging Face Spaces, the backend runs in `DEMO_MODE` (no model loaded) for demonstration and endpoint testing. For real inference, run locally with a GGUF model and llama-cpp-python.

## Endpoints

- `/health` — Health check
- `/v1/chat/completions` — OpenAI-style chat completions (returns demo response)
- `/train/start` — Start a (demo) training job
- `/train/status/{job_id}` — Check training job status
- `/train/logs/{job_id}` — Get training logs

## Usage

1. **Clone this repo** or create a Hugging Face Space (type: FastAPI).
2. All dependencies are in `requirements.txt`.
3. The Space will start in demo mode (no model download required).

## Local Inference (with GGUF)

To run with a real model locally:

1. Download a Gemma 3n GGUF model (e.g. from https://huggingface.co/unsloth/gemma-3n-E4B-it-GGUF).
2. Set `AI_MODEL` to the local path or repo.
3. Unset `DEMO_MODE`.
4. Run:
   ```bash
   pip install -r requirements.txt
   uvicorn gemma_gguf_backend:app --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8000
   ```
