AI Programming Tutor - Hugging Face Spaces Deployment

🚀 Quick Start

This is a simplified version of the AI Programming Tutor designed to work reliably on Hugging Face Spaces.

Files for Deployment:

• app.py - Super simple version (20 lines) - RECOMMENDED
• streamlit_app.py - Full featured version (109 lines)
• requirements.txt - Only Streamlit dependency
• .streamlit/config.toml - Minimal configuration

Deployment Steps:

1. Upload to Hugging Face Spaces

   • Create new Space
   • Choose "Streamlit" as SDK
   • Upload these files

2. Use app.py for guaranteed success

   • Only 20 lines of code
   • No complex dependencies
   • Works immediately

3. Alternative: Use streamlit_app.py

   • More features and better UI
   • Tabbed interface
   • Still minimal and reliable

Features:

• ✅ Code Analysis: Enter Python code for feedback
• ✅ Strengths & Weaknesses: Identify what's good and what needs improvement
• ✅ Step-by-Step Improvements: Clear guidance on how to improve
• ✅ Learning Points: Key concepts to understand
• ✅ Comprehension Questions: Test your understanding
• ✅ Code Fixes: See improved versions

Demo Mode:

The app currently runs in demo mode, providing structured educational feedback without requiring the fine-tuned model. This ensures it works immediately on Hugging Face Spaces.

Future Enhancement:

To add the fine-tuned model:

1. Upload model to Hugging Face Model Hub
2. Add HF_TOKEN to Spaces secrets
3. Update the app to use the model

Status: ✅ Ready for deployment on Hugging Face Spaces
