28K token context preparation budget - Dynamic context allocation - Updated `health_check()` for Novita API - Removed all local model methods ### 5. โœ… `flask_api_standalone.py` - Updated `initialize_orchestrator()`: - Changed to "Novita AI API Only" mode - Removed HF_TOKEN dependency - Set `use_local_models=False` - Updated error handling for configuration errors - Increased `MAX_MESSAGE_LENGTH` from 10KB to 100KB - Updated logging messages ### 6. โœ… `src/context_manager.py` - Updated `prune_context()` to use config threshold (28000 tokens) - Increased user input storage from 500 to 5000 characters - Increased system response storage from 1000 to 2000 characters - Updated interaction context generation to use more of user input ## ๐Ÿ“ Environment Variables Required Create a `.env` file with the following (see `.env.example` for full template): ```bash # REQUIRED - Novita AI Configuration NOVITA_API_KEY=your_api_key_here NOVITA_BASE_URL=https://api.novita.ai/dedicated/v1/openai NOVITA_MODEL=deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Qwen-7B:de-1a706eeafbf3ebc2 # DeepSeek-R1 Optimized Settings DEEPSEEK_R1_TEMPERATURE=0.6 DEEPSEEK_R1_FORCE_REASONING=True # Token Allocation (Optional - defaults provided) USER_INPUT_MAX_TOKENS=8000 CONTEXT_PREPARATION_BUDGET=28000 CONTEXT_PRUNING_THRESHOLD=28000 PRIORITIZE_USER_INPUT=True ``` ## ๐Ÿš€ Installation Steps 1. **Install dependencies:** ```bash pip install -r requirements.txt ``` 2. **Create `.env` file:** ```bash cp .env.example .env # Edit .env and add your NOVITA_API_KEY ``` 3. **Set environment variables:** ```bash export NOVITA_API_KEY=your_api_key_here export NOVITA_BASE_URL=https://api.novita.ai/dedicated/v1/openai export NOVITA_MODEL=deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Qwen-7B:de-1a706eeafbf3ebc2 ``` 4. **Start the application:** ```bash python flask_api_standalone.py ``` ## โœจ Key Features Implemented ### DeepSeek-R1 Optimizations - โœ… Temperature set to 0.6 (recommended range 0.5-0.7) - โœ… Reasoning trigger (`` prefix) for reasoning tasks - โœ… Automatic math directive detection - โœ… No system prompts (all instructions in user prompt) ### Token Allocation - โœ… User input: 8K tokens dedicated budget (never truncated) - โœ… Context preparation: 28K tokens total budget - โœ… Context pruning: 28K token threshold - โœ… User input always prioritized over historical context ### API Improvements - โœ… Message length limit: 100KB (increased from 10KB) - โœ… Better error messages with token estimates - โœ… Configuration validation with helpful error messages ### Database Storage - โœ… User input storage: 5000 characters (increased from 500) - โœ… System response storage: 2000 characters (increased from 1000) ## ๐Ÿงช Testing Checklist - [ ] Test API health check endpoint - [ ] Test simple inference request - [ ] Test large user input (5K+ tokens) - [ ] Test reasoning tasks (should see reasoning trigger) - [ ] Test math queries (should see math directive) - [ ] Test context preparation (user input should not be truncated) - [ ] Test error handling (missing API key, invalid endpoint) ## ๐Ÿ“Š Expected Behavior 1. **Startup:** - System initializes Novita AI client - Validates API key is present - Logs Novita AI configuration 2. **Inference:** - All requests routed to Novita AI API - DeepSeek-R1 optimizations applied automatically - User input prioritized in context preparation 3. **Error Handling:** - Clear error messages if API key missing - Helpful guidance for configuration issues - Graceful handling of API failures ## ๐Ÿ”ง Troubleshooting ### Issue: "NOVITA_API_KEY is required" **Solution:** Set the environment variable: ```bash export NOVITA_API_KEY=your_key_here ``` ### Issue: "openai package not available" **Solution:** Install dependencies: ```bash pip install -r requirements.txt ``` ### Issue: API connection errors **Solution:** - Verify API key is correct - Check base URL matches your endpoint - Verify model ID matches your deployment ## ๐Ÿ“š Configuration Reference ### Model Configuration - **Model ID:** `deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Qwen-7B:de-1a706eeafbf3ebc2` - **Context Window:** 131,072 tokens (131K) - **Optimized Settings:** Temperature 0.6, Top_p 0.95 ### Token Allocation - **User Input:** 8,000 tokens (dedicated, never truncated) - **Context Budget:** 28,000 tokens (includes user input + context) - **Output Limits:** - Reasoning: 4,096 tokens - Synthesis: 2,000 tokens - Classification: 512 tokens ## ๐ŸŽฏ Next Steps 1. Set your `NOVITA_API_KEY` in environment variables 2. Test the health check endpoint: `GET /api/health` 3. Send a test request: `POST /api/chat` 4. Monitor logs for Novita AI API calls 5. Verify DeepSeek-R1 optimizations are working ## ๐Ÿ“ Notes - All local model code has been removed - System now depends entirely on Novita AI API - No GPU/quantization configuration needed - No model downloading required - Faster startup (no model loading)
