Project Brief

Name

Iris

Status

Day 2 UI and submission polish. The Day 1 constraint engine has passed its quality gate, and Iris now has a live Gradio canvas UI.

Current Objective

Turn the validated local MiniCPM pressure engine into a polished, screen-recordable hackathon app: click a canvas, type an idea, receive four sharp pressure directions, and write the next sharper iteration.

Open Questions

• Should the submitted local model path stay on Ollama, or can MiniCPM move to llama.cpp cleanly for an extra badge?
• Should the custom UI remain embedded HTML/CSS/JS in Gradio, or move to a gr.Server frontend if that improves Hugging Face Spaces deployment?
• What demo idea best shows four sharp pressures and a stronger second iteration?
• What video and social post links will be added to the README for submission?

Immediate Next Step

Continue polishing the canvas flow for the demo video, then prepare Hugging Face Space deployment under the hackathon organization.
