## Usage

### Installation

```bash
npm install @huggingface/transformers
```

### Quick Start

```javascript
import { AutoProcessor, AutoModelForCausalLM } from "@huggingface/transformers";

// Load the WebGPU-optimized model
const model = await AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
  "Zhare-AI/janus-pro-7b-webgpu",
  {
    device: "webgpu",
    dtype: "q4f16",
  }
);

const processor = await AutoProcessor.from_pretrained(

);

console.log("🎉 Janus-Pro-7B loaded and ready for inference!");
```

### Text-to-Image Generation

```javascript
async function generateImage(prompt) {
  // Process text prompt
  const inputs = processor(prompt, {
    task: "text-to-image",
    return_tensors: "pt"
  });

  // Generate image tokens
  const outputs = await model.generate(inputs.input_ids, {
    max_new_tokens: 576,
    do_sample: true,
    temperature: 0.7,
    top_p: 0.9
  });

  console.log("✨ Image generated successfully!");
  return outputs;
}

// Example usage
await generateImage("A majestic dragon flying over a medieval castle at sunset");
```

### Image Understanding

```javascript
async function understandImage(imageElement, question = "What do you see?") {
  // Process image and question
  const inputs = processor(imageElement, question, {
    task: "image-to-text", 
    return_tensors: "pt"
  });

  // Generate description
  const outputs = await model.generate(inputs.input_ids, {
    max_new_tokens: 256,
    do_sample: false
  });

  // Decode response
  const description = processor.decode(outputs[0], {
    skip_special_tokens: true
  });

  return description;
}

// Example usage
const description = await understandImage(
  document.getElementById("my-image"),
  "Describe the objects and scene in detail"
);
```

### Multimodal Chat

```javascript
class JanusChat {
  constructor(model, processor) {
    this.model = model;
    this.processor = processor;
    this.conversation = [];
  }

  async chat(message, image = null) {
    // Add user message to conversation
    this.conversation.push({ role: "user", content: message, image });

    // Process conversation
    const inputs = this.processor(this.conversation, {
      return_tensors: "pt"
    });

    // Generate response
    const outputs = await this.model.generate(inputs.input_ids, {
      max_new_tokens: 512,
      temperature: 0.7,
      do_sample: true
    });

    const response = this.processor.decode(outputs[0], {
      skip_special_tokens: true
    });

    // Add assistant response
    this.conversation.push({ role: "assistant", content: response });

    return response;
  }
}

// Example usage
const chat = new JanusChat(model, processor);
await chat.chat("What's in this image?", imageElement);
await chat.chat("Can you create a similar image but with different colors?");
```

# Serve model files over HTTPS (required for WebGPU)
npx http-server . --ssl --cors

# Or using Python
python -m http.server 8000 --bind 0.0.0.0
```

### 2. HTML Integration

```html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <title>Janus WebGPU Demo</title>
    <script type="module">
        import { AutoProcessor, AutoModelForCausalLM } from 
            'https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@huggingface/transformers@3/dist/transformers.min.js';

        async function loadModel() {
            const model = await AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
                'Zhare-AI/janus-pro-7b-webgpu',
                { device: 'webgpu', dtype: 'q4f16' }
            );

            console.log('Model loaded!');
        }

        loadModel();
    </script>
</head>
<body>
    <h1>Janus-Pro-7B WebGPU</h1>
    <p>Check browser console for loading progress.</p>
</body>
</html>
```

### 3. Production Considerations

- **CDN**: Host model files on a CDN for global distribution
- **Caching**: Implement proper cache headers for model files
- **Progressive Loading**: Load model components as needed
- **Error Handling**: Graceful fallbacks for unsupported browsers
- **Memory Management**: Clean up resources when done

## Limitations

### Current Limitations

- **Browser Support**: Limited to WebGPU-compatible browsers
- **Model Size**: Still requires significant download (4GB)
- **First Load**: Initial model download takes time
- **Memory Usage**: Requires substantial GPU memory
- **Image Generation**: Slower than dedicated hardware

### Known Issues

- Firefox WebGPU support is experimental and may have issues
- Safari WebGPU support is in beta with limited functionality
- Very large images may cause memory issues
- Some complex prompts might not generate as expected

## Technical Details

### Quantization Strategy

- **Weights**: 4-bit unsigned integer quantization
- **Activations**: 16-bit floating point precision
- **Calibration**: Post-training quantization without calibration dataset
- **Optimization**: Weight-only quantization to minimize quality loss

### ONNX Conversion

The model was converted using a custom pipeline:

1. **Model Loading**: Load original Janus-Pro-7B with trust_remote_code
2. **Component Extraction**: Separate embedding, vision, language, and generation heads
3. **Architecture Simplification**: Reduce complexity for ONNX compatibility
4. **Quantization**: Apply q4f16 quantization for WebGPU optimization
5. **Validation**: Comprehensive testing with transformers.js

### WebGPU Optimizations

- **Operator Support**: All operations compatible with ONNX Runtime WebGPU
- **Memory Layout**: Optimized tensor formats for GPU efficiency
- **Compute Shaders**: Leverages modern GPU compute capabilities
- **Pipeline Optimization**: Minimized CPU-GPU memory transfers
