## Model Details:

### Model Description

Study Buddy AI is built on `microsoft/phi-2` and fine-tuned using PEFT (Parameter-Efficient Fine-Tuning). It was trained to behave like a study partner — casual, reasoning, encouraging, and deeply helpful for academic subjects and personal growth.

### Features

- Explains complex topics using simple language
- Emotionally intelligent responses — supportive and motivational
- Great for studying, reviewing, or breaking down hard concepts

### Use Cases

- Personal tutoring via chat
- Homework help and study review
- Emotional motivation during learning sessions

### Limitations

- Best used in short back-and-forths, not long essays

## Training & Fine-Tuning

- **Base model**: `microsoft/phi-2`
- **Fine-tuning method**: LoRA via the `peft` library
- **Custom dataset**: 3,000+ curated prompts focused on simplified teaching, multi-step thinking, and staying loyal to retrieved data. 
- **Hosted via**: Hugging Face Inference Endpoints (GPU-backed)
