  - Results display area
  - Status indicator

- ✅ **Token Alternatives Feature:**
  - Mouse hover over generated words shows tooltip
  - Displays top 5 alternative tokens
  - Shows probability percentages for each alternative
  - Styled tooltips with smooth animations

- ✅ **Input Validation:**
  - Maximum 500 words limit enforced
  - Word counter implemented
  - Clear error messages

- ✅ **Deployment Ready:**
  - Configured for Hugging Face Spaces
  - README.md with metadata
  - requirements.txt with dependencies
  - .gitignore for clean repository

### Technical Implementation

#### Architecture
```

│   └── process_text() (main handler)
├── UI Generation
│   └── create_html_with_tooltips()
└── Gradio Interface
    └── Interactive UI with all controls
```

#### Key Features

1. **Device Auto-Detection:**
   - Automatically uses GPU if available
   - Falls back to CPU gracefully
   - Prints device info on startup

2. **Token Probability Capture:**
   - Uses `output_scores=True` in generation
   - Captures probability distributions for each token
   - Applies softmax to get probabilities
   - Extracts top-5 alternatives with torch.topk()

3. **Interactive Tooltips:**
   - Pure CSS tooltips (no JavaScript required)
   - Hover-activated with smooth transitions
   - Shows token text and probability
   - Visually appealing dark theme

4. **Error Handling:**
   - Input validation
   - Word count checking
   - Exception catching with user-friendly messages
   - Status updates throughout processing

## Usage Flow

1. **Launch Application**
   - Models load automatically
   - Device detection (GPU/CPU)
   - UI becomes available

2. **User Interaction**
   - Select mode (Text Generation or Summarization)
   - Enter text (max 500 words)
   - Adjust max tokens slider
   - Click "Process"

3. **Processing**
   - Input validation
   - Model inference with score capture
   - Token alternative extraction
   - HTML generation with tooltips

4. **Results Display**
   - Generated/summarized text shown
   - Hover over words to see alternatives
   - Status message indicates completion
   - Token count displayed

## Testing Results

✅ **Syntax Check:** Passed
✅ **Package Import:** All dependencies available
✅ **Model Loading:** Qwen model tested successfully
✅ **UI Rendering:** Gradio interface works correctly

## Next Steps for User

1. **Local Testing (Optional):**
   ```bash
   pip install -r requirements.txt
   python app.py
   ```

2. **Deploy to Hugging Face Spaces:**
   - Follow instructions in DEPLOYMENT.md
   - Should take 5-10 minutes for first deployment
   - Models will be cached after first run

3. **Customization (Optional):**
   - Adjust max token limits in code
   - Modify UI colors/styling
   - Add more sampling parameters
   - Switch to different models

## Notes & Considerations

### Design Decisions:

1. **Greedy Decoding:**
   - Used `do_sample=False` to ensure consistency
   - Shows what model "would have" chosen (top-5)
   - Could be extended to show actual sampled alternatives

2. **Word-Token Mapping:**
   - Simple space-based word splitting for display
   - More sophisticated tokenization possible
   - Trade-off between simplicity and accuracy

3. **Local Inference vs API:**
   - Implemented local inference as specified
   - Provides full control over generation parameters
   - Token probabilities available directly

4. **Tooltip Implementation:**
   - Pure CSS for reliability
   - No JavaScript dependencies
   - Works across all browsers

### Potential Enhancements:

- [ ] Add temperature/top-p/top-k controls
- [ ] Show actual token boundaries vs words
- [ ] Add batch processing for multiple inputs
- [ ] Implement caching for repeated queries
- [ ] Add export functionality (copy/download)
- [ ] Support for longer inputs (chunking)
- [ ] Real-time generation streaming
- [ ] Compare outputs from both models

## Conclusion

All requirements from `assignment.md` have been successfully implemented. The application is ready for deployment to Hugging Face Spaces and provides an intuitive interface for exploring how language models make token prediction decisions.
