Project-Specific Implementation

TON Arcana

Configuration for Creative Tasks

• Use Qwen2.5-3B for Tarot readings and medium-context tasks.
• Quantize to FP16 for GPU efficiency.

Example Prompts

You are a mystical Tarot reader. Provide an insightful interpretation for the following card spread: [Card Details].

Conversation Handling

• Maintain a sliding window of up to 3K tokens to preserve context.
• Implement logic to summarize older interactions.

Performance Tips

• Preload models to reduce initialization time.
• Batch requests for concurrent users.

Integration Code Example

const { Ollama } = require('ollama-client');
const client = new Ollama({
  model: 'qwen-3b',
  server: 'http://localhost:11434',
});

async function getTarotReading(cards) {
  const prompt = `Interpret these cards: ${cards}`;
  const response = await client.generate(prompt);
  return response.data;
}

Mercury

Configuration for Analytical Tasks

• Use Qwen2.5-14B for large-context and analytical tasks.
• Quantize to INT8 for CPU deployments.

Example Prompts

Analyze the following market data and provide actionable insights: [Market Data].

Batch Processing Strategy

• Use async processing with job queues to manage analysis requests efficiently.

Integration Code Example

from qwen_client import Model

def analyze_market(data):
    model = Model(server='http://localhost:11434', model='qwen-14b')
    prompt = f"Analyze this market data: {data}"
    response = model.generate(prompt)
    return response
