- **Dtype**: `torch.float16` (FP16 for speed)
- **Quantization**: FP16 (MPS, fast mode)
- **Load time**: ~5 seconds
- **Warmup time**: ~22 seconds
- **Memory usage**: ~2-3GB unified memory

### Inference Performance

- **Token generation**: ~10-20 tokens/sec
- **Device utilization**: GPU accelerated via MPS

## Starting the Server

```bash
# Start V4-enabled server
conda run -n summarizer uvicorn app.main:app --host 0.0.0.0 --port 7860

# Server will warmup V4 on startup (takes 20-30s)
# Look for these log messages:
#   ✅ V4 model initialized successfully
#   Model device: mps:0
#   Torch dtype: torch.float16
```

## Testing V4

### Via curl

```bash
# Test V4 stream-json endpoint (Outlines-constrained)
curl -X POST http://localhost:7860/api/v4/scrape-and-summarize/stream-json \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "text": "Your article text here...",
    "style": "executive",
    "max_tokens": 256
  }'
```

### Via Python

```python
import requests

url = "http://localhost:7860/api/v4/scrape-and-summarize/stream-json"
payload = {
    "text": "Your article text here...",
    "style": "executive",  # Options: skimmer, executive, eli5
    "max_tokens": 256
}

response = requests.post(url, json=payload, stream=True)

for line in response.iter_lines():
    if line:
        print(line.decode('utf-8'))
```

## V4 Endpoints

1. **`/api/v4/scrape-and-summarize/stream`** - Raw JSON token streaming
2. **`/api/v4/scrape-and-summarize/stream-ndjson`** - NDJSON patch streaming (best for Android)
3. **`/api/v4/scrape-and-summarize/stream-json`** - Outlines-constrained JSON (most reliable schema)

## Structured Output Format

V4 guarantees the following JSON structure:

```json
{
  "title": "6-10 word headline",
  "main_summary": "2-4 sentence summary",
  "key_points": [
    "Key point 1",
    "Key point 2",
    "Key point 3"
  ],
  "category": "1-2 word topic label",
  "sentiment": "positive|negative|neutral",
  "read_time_min": 3
}
```

## Summarization Styles

1. **`skimmer`** - Quick facts and highlights for fast reading
2. **`executive`** - Business-focused summary with key takeaways (recommended)
3. **`eli5`** - "Explain Like I'm 5" - simple, accessible explanations

## Code Changes Made

### 1. Added MPS Detection (`app/services/structured_summarizer.py`)

```python
# Detect both CUDA and MPS
use_cuda = torch.cuda.is_available()
use_mps = torch.backends.mps.is_available() and torch.backends.mps.is_built()

if use_cuda:
    logger.info("CUDA is available. Using GPU for V4 model.")
elif use_mps:
    logger.info("MPS (Metal Performance Shaders) is available. Using Apple Silicon GPU for V4 model.")
else:
    logger.info("No GPU available. V4 model will run on CPU.")
```

### 2. Fixed Model Loading for MPS

```python
# MPS requires explicit device setting, not device_map
if use_mps:
    self.model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
        settings.v4_model_id,
        torch_dtype=torch.float16,  # Fixed: was `dtype=` (incorrect)
        cache_dir=settings.hf_cache_dir,
        trust_remote_code=True,
    ).to("mps")  # Explicit MPS device
```

### 3. Added FP16 Support for MPS

```python
elif (use_cuda or use_mps) and use_fp16_for_speed:
    device_str = "CUDA GPU" if use_cuda else "MPS (Apple Silicon)"
    logger.info(f"Loading V4 model in FP16 for maximum speed on {device_str}...")
    # ... FP16 loading logic
```

## Known Issues

### Outlines JSON Generation Reliability

The Outlines library (0.1.1) with Qwen 1.5B sometimes generates malformed JSON with extra characters. This is a known limitation of constrained decoding with smaller models.

**Symptoms**:
```
ValidationError: Extra data: line 1 column 278 (char 277)
input_value='{"title":"Apple Announce...":5}#RRR!!##R!R!R##!#!!'
```

**Workarounds**:
1. Use the `/stream` or `/stream-ndjson` endpoints instead (more reliable)
2. Retry failed requests (Outlines generation is non-deterministic)
3. Consider using a larger model (Qwen 3B) for better JSON reliability
4. Use lower temperature (already set to 0.2 for stability)

### Memory Considerations

- **Current usage**: ~2-3GB unified memory for V4
- **Total with all services**: ~4-5GB (V2 + V3 + V4)
- **Your 24GB Mac**: Plenty of headroom ✅

## Performance Comparison

| Version | Device | Memory | Inference Time | Use Case |
|---------|--------|---------|----------------|----------|
| V1 | Ollama | ~2-4GB | 2-5s | Local custom models |
| V2 | CPU/GPU | ~500MB | Streaming | Fast free-form summaries |
| V3 | CPU/GPU | ~550MB | 2-5s | Web scraping + summarization |
| **V4** | **MPS** | **~2-3GB** | **2-5s** | **Structured JSON output** |

## Next Steps

### For Production Use

1. **Test with real articles**: Feed V4 actual articles from your Android app
2. **Monitor memory**: Use Activity Monitor to track memory usage
3. **Benchmark performance**: Measure actual inference times under load
4. **Consider alternatives if Outlines is unreliable**:
   - Switch to `/stream-ndjson` endpoint (more reliable, progressive updates)
   - Use post-processing to clean JSON output
   - Upgrade to a larger model (Qwen 3B or Phi-3-Mini 3.8B)

### For Development

1. **Disable V4 warmup when not testing**:
   ```bash
   ENABLE_V4_WARMUP=false  # Saves 20-30s startup time
   ```

2. **Run only V4** (disable V1/V2/V3 to save memory):
   ```bash
   ENABLE_V1_WARMUP=false
   ENABLE_V2_WARMUP=false
   ENABLE_V3_SCRAPING=false
   ```

3. **Experiment with temperature**:
   ```bash
   V4_TEMPERATURE=0.1  # Even more deterministic (may be too rigid)
   V4_TEMPERATURE=0.3  # More creative (may reduce schema compliance)
   ```

## Troubleshooting

### Model not loading on MPS

Check PyTorch MPS support:
```bash
conda run -n summarizer python -c "import torch; print(f'MPS: {torch.backends.mps.is_available()}')"
```

### Server startup fails

Check the logs:
```bash
conda run -n summarizer uvicorn app.main:app --host 0.0.0.0 --port 7860
# Look for "✅ V4 model initialized successfully"
```

### JSON validation errors

This is expected with Qwen 1.5B + Outlines. Consider:
- Using `/stream-ndjson` endpoint
- Implementing retry logic
- Using a larger model
