Making a Fast ChatGPT-Like Website with Custom LLM:
---------------------------------------------------
1. Choose Your LLM Model & Hosting
- Use open-source LLMs (LLaMA, Falcon, Mistral, etc.) or hosted APIs (OpenAI, Hugging Face).
- Custom models require GPU hosting or cloud services.
2. Backend: Serving Your Model
- Use FastAPI or Flask (Python) for APIs.
- Optimize with ONNX Runtime or TensorRT for speed.
- Use async APIs and caching.
3. Frontend: Fast & Responsive Chat UI
- Use React/Vue.js with WebSocket or Server-Sent Events (SSE).
- Stream tokens like ChatGPTs typing effect.
4. Model Integration
- Frontend sends prompt to backend.
- Backend generates and streams tokens.
- Frontend displays tokens in real-time.
5. Performance & Scaling
- Use GPU acceleration.
- Optimize models with quantization or distillation.
- Cache frequent responses.
6. Tech Stack Suggestion
- Frontend: React + Tailwind
- Backend: FastAPI + Uvicorn + Python
- Model: Hugging Face Transformers + ONNX
- Hosting: Cloud GPU server (AWS/GCP)
- Database: Redis for caching
Python as a Frontend Language:
------------------------------
- Python is not used for browser-based frontend.
- Use HTML/CSS/JavaScript for websites.
- For ML UIs, use Python frameworks like Streamlit, Gradio, Dash, Panel.
- For desktop GUIs: Tkinter, PyQt, Kivy.
- PyScript allows limited Python in browser.
Alternatives to TensorFlow for Java/Kotlin:
-------------------------------------------
1. DJL (Deep Java Library)
- Supports multiple backends (PyTorch, TensorFlow, ONNX)
- Java/Kotlin compatible
2. KotlinDL
- Kotlin-native library built on TensorFlow
- Best for deep learning in Kotlin
3. ONNX Runtime Java API
- Lightweight, fast inference
4. Tribuo
- Classical ML (SVM, Random Forest) by Oracle
5. Smile
- Classic ML and NLP for Java/Kotlin
Should I Learn Python for Scientific AI?
----------------------------------------
- YES. Python is the #1 language for AI, data science, and scientific computing.
- Huge ecosystem: PyTorch, TensorFlow, NumPy, SciPy, etc.
- Used in medical AI, bioinformatics, astronomy, physics, NLP, and more.
Steps:
1. Learn Python basics
2. Learn NumPy, Pandas, Matplotlib
3. Learn ML with Scikit-learn
4. Apply to real scientific data
5. Learn deep learning with PyTorch or TensorFlow
