๐Ÿ“ Next Steps (Phase 2)

Remaining Work (25

1. Adaptation System (~1,700 lines)
- `adaptation/adapter.py` - Response personalization
- `adaptation/analyzers.py` - Content analysis
- `adaptation/transformers/` - Response transformation pipeline
- Risk: High (complex stateful logic)

2. Update Main artificial.py
- Import new modules
- Replace old code with module calls
- Add backward compatibility layer
- Ensure all tests pass

3. Integration Testing
- Test module interactions
- Verify I-RCP integration
- Performance benchmarking

4. Documentation
- API documentation for each module
- Migration guide for existing code
- Usage examples

---

๐Ÿš€ Usage Examples

Example 1: Using the OpenAI Client

python
from dlm.inference.api_clients import OpenAIClient

client = OpenAIClient([sensitive field redacted], model="gpt-4")

messages = [
    {"role": "system", "content": "You are a helpful assistant"},
    {"role": "user", "content": "Hello!"}
]

response = client.create_completion(messages, temperature=0.7)
print(response["content"])

client.close()

Example 2: Using Provider Factory with Fallback

python
from dlm.inference.api_clients import ProviderFactory, MultiProviderClient

# Create clients
openai = ProviderFactory.create("openai", [sensitive field redacted])
google = ProviderFactory.create("google", [sensitive field redacted])

# Multi-provider with fallback
multi = MultiProviderClient(
    providers={"openai": openai, "google": google},
    default_provider="openai"
)

# Automatic fallback if OpenAI fails
response = multi.create_completion_with_fallback(
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Hello"}],
    fallback_order=["openai", "google"]
)

Example 3: I-RCP Enhanced Similarity

python
from dlm.inference.embeddings import EmbeddingGenerator, SimilarityCalculator

generator = EmbeddingGenerator(embedder_model)
calculator = SimilarityCalculator(generator, reply_chain_builder)

result = calculator.semantic_similarity_cosine(
    "How do I deploy my app?",
    "What's the deployment process?",
    use_ircp_coordinates=True,
    temporal_weighting=True,
    context_aware=True,
    adapt_weights=True
)

print(result)
# {
#   "raw_cosine_similarity": 0.85,
#   "attention_similarity": 0.72,
#   "coordinate_similarity": 0.68,
#   "temporal_similarity": 0.91,
#   "contextual_similarity": 0.78,
#   "cosine_similarity": 0.79,  # Blended score
#   "blend_weights": {...}
# }

Example 4: Conversation Management

python
from dlm.inference.conversation import ConversationHistory, TokenCounter, Truncator

# Initialize
history = ConversationHistory(max_history=100)
counter = TokenCounter(model="gpt-4")
truncator = Truncator(token_counter=counter)

# Add messages
history.add_message("user", "Hello!")
history.add_message("assistant", "Hi there!")

# Get recent context
messages = history.get_recent_context(num_messages=10)

# Check if truncation needed
if counter.should_truncate(messages):
    messages = truncator.truncate_to_limit(messages, max_tokens=4096)

# Get stats
stats = history.get_stats()
print(f"Total messages: {stats['total_messages']}")

Example 5: Streaming with Buffering

python
from dlm.inference.generation import OpenAIStreamingHandler, BufferedStreamingHandler
from dlm.inference.api_clients import OpenAIClient

client = OpenAIClient([sensitive field redacted])
base_handler = OpenAIStreamingHandler(client, model="gpt-4")
buffered = BufferedStreamingHandler(
    base_handler,
    buffer_size=5,
    flush_on_punctuation=True
)

messages = [{"role": "user", "content": "Tell me a story"}]

for chunk in buffered.stream_buffered(messages):
    print(chunk, end="", flush=True)
