## 📊 Understanding the System

### Data Flow
1. **User chats** → Saved to `data/vish_dataset.jsonl`
2. **User rates** → Saved to `data/feedback.jsonl`
3. **Training runs** → Creates `models/vish-ai-mini/latest/`
4. **Model reloads** → Uses improved version automatically

### File Structure
```
data/
  ├── vish_dataset.jsonl     # All interactions
  ├── feedback.jsonl         # User ratings
  └── research_data.jsonl    # Research data

models/
  └── vish-ai-mini/
      ├── latest/            # LoRA adapters
      └── metadata.json      # Version info
```

## 🎓 Training Process

### When to Train
- After collecting 10+ interactions
- After significant feedback
- Weekly/monthly for continuous improvement

### Training Time
- **CPU**: 10-30 minutes
- **GPU**: 2-5 minutes

### What Gets Trained
- High-quality interactions (rating ≥ 3)
- Deduplicated data
- LoRA adapters only (efficient!)

### Model Versions
Each training creates a version:
- `v20241016_143022`
- `v20241017_095234`
- Latest version is used automatically

## 🚀 Deployment

### Hugging Face Spaces

1. Create Space: https://huggingface.co/new-space
2. Upload files:
   - `app/` folder
   - `requirements.txt`
   - `Dockerfile`
   - `README.md`
3. Set hardware: CPU Basic (free) or T4 GPU
4. Wait for build (~15-20 minutes first time)
5. Done! Your AI is live

### Docker

```bash
# Build
docker build -t vish-ai .

# Run
docker run -p 7860:7860 \
  -v $(pwd)/data:/app/data \
  -v $(pwd)/models:/app/models \
  -e VISH_ADMIN_KEY=your-key \
  vish-ai
```

## ⚡ Quick Tips

1. **Start with general questions** to build dataset
2. **Rate honestly** - only good data improves the model
3. **Train regularly** - weekly is good
4. **Check stats** - monitor improvement
5. **Backup data** - copy `/data` and `/models` regularly

---

## 🐛 Common Issues

### "Model not loaded"
- Wait for initial download (~7GB, 10-15 min)
- Check logs for errors
- Verify internet connection

### "Insufficient data for training"
- Need at least 10 interactions
- Check: `curl http://localhost:7860/api/stats`

### "Out of memory"
- Use quantization (edit `model_handler.py`)
- Reduce batch size in `retrain.py`
- Upgrade to GPU

---

## 📚 Next Steps

1. **Explore API**: Visit `http://localhost:7860/docs`
2. **Read Full README**: See `README_SELF_TRAINING.md`
3. **Customize**: Edit system prompts in `gradio_ui.py`
4. **Integrate**: Use API endpoints in your apps
