Processing Modes

The system automatically selects optimal processing modes:

1. Standard RAG Processing

• Complex documents requiring full pipeline
• Vector database storage and hybrid search
• Best for policy documents, manuals

2. OneShot Processing

• Simple text documents
• Direct LLM processing without vector search
• Faster for short documents

3. Tabular Analysis

• Excel, CSV files with structured data
• Specialized data analysis prompts
• Optimized for numerical data

4. Image Processing

• Visual content with OCR
• Table detection in images
• Automatic cleanup after processing

📊 Performance Metrics

Processing Speed

• Simple Queries: 0.5-1.5 seconds
• Complex Multi-aspect: 1.5-3.0 seconds
• Document Preprocessing: 2-5 pages/second (PDF)
• Embedding Generation: 100-500 chunks/second

Cost Optimization

• Free Tier Usage: 200+ questions at $0 cost
• Provider Rotation: Automatic cost-effective routing
• Rate Limit Avoidance: Prevents unnecessary paid calls
• Intelligent Caching: Reduces redundant processing

Resource Usage

• Memory: 500MB-1GB (model dependent)
• Storage: Vector databases (~100MB per 1000 documents)
• CPU: Moderate during processing, minimal idle

🛠️ Troubleshooting

Common Issues

1. No LLM Providers Available

# Check provider status
from LLM.llm_handler import llm_handler
status = llm_handler.get_provider_status()
print(f"Available providers: {len(status)}")

# Reset cooldowns if needed
llm_handler.reset_cooldowns()

2. Document Processing Failures

# Check document accessibility
curl -I "https://your-document-url.pdf"

# Force reprocessing
curl -X POST "http://localhost:8000/preprocess" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer admin_token" \
  -d "document_url=your_url&force=true"

3. OCR Space API Issues

# Verify OCR API key
export OCR_SPACE_API_KEY="your_key"

# Test OCR endpoint
curl -X POST "https://api.ocr.space/parse/image" \
  -F "apikey=your_key" \
  -F "url=https://example.com/image.jpg"

4. Memory Issues

# Reduce batch sizes in config.py
BATCH_SIZE = 16
CHUNK_SIZE = 1200

Debug Mode

Enable verbose logging:

import logging
logging.basicConfig(level=logging.DEBUG)

# Check system health
from api.api import app
# Health check includes detailed component status

Health Monitoring

# System health check
curl http://localhost:8000/health

# Detailed logs export
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer admin_token" \
  "http://localhost:8000/logs?minutes=60" > debug_logs.json
