## 📝 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
```

## 🚀 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
   ```

## ✨ Key Features Implemented

### DeepSeek-R1 Optimizations
- ✅ Temperature set to 0.6 (recommended range 0.5-0.7)

- ✅ Automatic math directive detection
- ✅ No system prompts (all instructions in user prompt)

### Token Allocation
- ✅ User input: 8K tokens dedicated budget (never truncated)
- ✅ Context preparation: 28K tokens total budget
- ✅ Context pruning: 28K token threshold
- ✅ User input always prioritized over historical context

### API Improvements

## 🧪 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)

## 📊 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

## 🔧 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
