## 🤖 AI Model Information

This assistant uses the **DavidAU/OpenAi-GPT-oss-20b-abliterated-uncensored-NEO-Imatrix-gguf** model hosted on Hugging Face Endpoints. This is a powerful open-source language model with:

- **20 Billion Parameters**: Capable of handling complex reasoning tasks
- **Extended Context Window**: Supports up to 8192 tokens per response
- **Uncensored Capabilities**: Provides comprehensive answers without artificial limitations
- **Specialized Training**: Optimized for research and analytical tasks

## 🔧 API Integrations

| Service | Purpose | Usage |
|---------|---------|-------|
| **Tavily** | Web Search | Real-time information retrieval |
| **Hugging Face Inference** | LLM Processing | Natural language understanding |
| **Redis** | Caching | Performance optimization |
| **NASA** | Space Data | Astronomical context |
| **OpenWeatherMap** | Weather Data | Environmental context |

## ⚡ Enhanced Features

### 🔁 Streaming Output
Responses stream in real-time, allowing users to start reading before the complete answer is generated. This creates a more natural conversational experience.

### 📚 Dynamic Citations
All information is properly sourced with clickable links to original content, ensuring transparency and enabling further exploration.

### ⚡ Asynchronous Operations
Weather data, space weather, and web searches run in parallel, significantly reducing response times.

### 🧠 Contextual Intelligence
Each query is enhanced with:
- Current weather conditions
- Recent space events
- Accurate timestamps

### 🛡️ Server State Management
Intelligent monitoring detects when the model server is initializing and provides clear user guidance with estimated wait times.
