ChatDan 🤖

ChatDan is an AI chatbot designed to emulate myself (Dan Jia) using a Large-Language Model (LLM).

Quick Start

1. Clone the repository and install required Python packages:

   git clone https://github.com/danjia21/chat_dan.git
   cd chat_dan
   pip3 install -r requirements.txt

2. Launch the Streamlit application:

   streamlit run app.py

3. If you want to test running flan-t5-large locally on your machine, ensure you've downloaded the pre-trained model weights from Hugging Face before launching the application using the following script. Models on Hugging Face are hosted with Git LFS, so make sure it is installed:

   ./download_weights.sh  # Requires git-lfs

4. Alternatively, a Dockerfile is provided if you prefer to run ChatDan in a container:

   docker build -t chatdan .
   docker run -p 8501:8501 chatdan

Enjoy conversing with ChatDan!
