ChatDan 🤖

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

Quick Start

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

Launch the Streamlit application:
```
streamlit run app.py
```
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
```
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!
