| # Reality Divergence + Elsewhere | |
| One shared reasoning engine, two lenses on the lives and worlds we didn't live. | |
| - **🪞 Elsewhere (Your Timeline)** — a compassionate, safety-aware counterfactual | |
| reflection on a single personal choice. *(Track: Backyard AI)* | |
| - **🌍 Reality Divergence (The World)** — speculative alternate history: pin a | |
| divergence point, reason forward through plausible ripples. *(Track: Thousand Token Wood)* | |

| - 🎬 **Demo video:** https://youtu.be/cBzv7mwl_5E | |

| ## Model rationale (Build Small) | |
| - **Reasoning:** [`Qwen/Qwen2.5-7B-Instruct`](https://huggingface.co/Qwen/Qwen2.5-7B-Instruct) | |
| — open weights, **well under the 32B cap**, served via the HF Inference API | |
| (`chat_completion`). Configurable through the `MODEL_NAME_TEXT` env var. | |
| - **Rendering:** the model returns structured JSON, rendered as an animated HTML | |
| timeline (glowing year-node spine, branch cards, reflection prompts). | |
| - **Atmosphere:** each result is topped with a **text-free** cinematic image | |
| ([`black-forest-labs/FLUX.1-schnell`](https://huggingface.co/black-forest-labs/FLUX.1-schnell) | |
| via `text_to_image`). Prompts explicitly forbid lettering, so no garbled "text" | |
| artifacts — just mood. Degrades gracefully if image generation is unavailable. | |
| - **No GPU required to run** — all inference goes through the Inference API, so the | |
| Space stays light and within Zero GPU limits. | |
| ## Responsible UX | |
| - **Elsewhere** runs input validation + risk detection and, on high-risk input, | |
| shows a safety notice with crisis resources instead of generating a timeline. | |
| Every timeline ends with an explicit **return-to-actual-life** strengths section. | |
| - **Reality Divergence** is speculative and constrained to plausible, non-fantasy outcomes. | |
| - The app **degrades gracefully**: model/timeout/JSON failures fall back to curated | |
| content so it never crashes. | |
| ## Run locally | |
| ```bash | |
| pip install -r requirements.txt | |
| cp .env.example .env # then paste your HF token into .env | |
| python app.py | |
| ``` | |
| Get a token at https://huggingface.co/settings/tokens (a *Read* token is enough). | |
| Without a valid token the app still runs and shows fallback content. | |
| ## Submission checklist | |
| - [x] Gradio Space, model under 32B, open weights | |
| - [x] Dual-track UX (Backyard AI + Thousand Token Wood) | |
| - [x] Safety gate + graceful fallback | |
| - [x] Demo video link (see Links above) | |
