# Kalpanā Plain Model Baselines API

This Hugging Face Space hosts a stateless multi-model API serving baseline models without RIF, RAG, search, or conversation memory. It provides a clean comparison point for the Kalpanā benchmark.

## Environment Variables

- `HF_TOKEN`: Hugging Face gated model authentication token (required to download Llama models).
- `INFERENCE_PROFILE`: `gpu-transformers` (uses transformers + bitsandbytes 4-bit) or `cpu-gguf` (uses llama.cpp GGUF quants).
- `DEFAULT_MODEL_ID`: Default loaded model on startup (default: `plain-qwen-0.5b`).
- `MODEL_CONTEXT_LIMIT_LLAMA_3_8B`: Token context limit for Llama 3 8B.
- `MODEL_CONTEXT_LIMIT_LLAMA_3_2_3B`: Token context limit for Llama 3.2 3B.
- `MODEL_CONTEXT_LIMIT_QWEN_0_5B`: Token context limit for Qwen 1.5 0.5B.
- `MODEL_THREADS`: Threads allocated for local GGUF execution.
- `MODEL_BATCH_SIZE`: Batch size for evaluation.
- `BENCHMARK_API_KEY`: API Key to protect endpoints (optional).

## Endpoint Overview

- `GET /health`: Health metrics, active model status, and device metadata.
- `GET /v1/models`: Returns list of plain models.
- `GET /v1/config`: Returns configurations, quantization specs, and hashes.
- `POST /v1/models/load`: Selects and loads one model, unloading other active models.
- `POST /v1/tokenize`: Counts tokens using the model's actual tokenizer.
- `POST /v1/chat/completions`: OpenAI-compatible completion endpoint.
- `POST /v1/benchmark/query`: Context-bounded query endpoint applying deterministic truncation policies.
