🚀 ✨ Release 4.0.0 - Multi-Level LLM Architecture

Release 4.0.0 - Multi-Level LLM Architecture

🚀 Overview

This major release introduces a revolutionary multi-level LLM architecture that transforms EduPlannerBotAI from a simple OpenAI-dependent bot into a robust, enterprise-grade system with guaranteed availability. The bot now operates seamlessly even without internet connectivity, providing users with reliable study plan generation and translation services through intelligent fallback mechanisms.

✨ New Features

Multi-Level LLM Architecture

• Guaranteed Availability: Bot works even during complete internet outages
• Intelligent Service Switching: Automatic fallback through available services
• Offline Operation: Full functionality without external API dependencies

Local LLM Integration

• TinyLlama 1.1B Model: Local inference engine for offline operation
• GGUF Format: Optimized model size (~1.1GB) with high performance
• Privacy-First: All local processing happens on your server
• Fast Response: No network latency for local operations

Enhanced Fallback System

• Robust Error Handling: Comprehensive error management and recovery
• Service Health Monitoring: Real-time status tracking of all LLM services
• Graceful Degradation: Seamless transition between service levels
• Detailed Logging: Complete audit trail of service transitions

🔧 Improvements

Study Plan Quality

• Professional Templates: Enhanced fallback plans with structured content
• Rich Formatting: Emojis, bullet points, and organized sections
• Study Schedules: Recommended weekly learning paths
• Success Tips: Actionable advice for effective learning

Translation System

• Multi-Level Translation: Same fallback architecture for text translation
• Offline Translation: Local LLM supports offline language conversion
• Quality Assurance: Automatic fallback to original text if translation fails
• Context Awareness: Better translation quality through LLM understanding

Performance & Reliability

• Eliminated Single Points of Failure: No more dependency on single API
• Reduced Response Times: Local operations provide instant results
• Better Resource Management: Optimized model loading and inference
• Production Ready: Enterprise-grade stability and monitoring

🐛 Bug Fixes

Code Quality Improvements

• Pylint Score: Improved from 9.39/10 to 10.00/10
• Trailing Whitespace: Eliminated all formatting inconsistencies
• F-String Optimization: Removed unnecessary f-strings without variables
• Code Structure: Cleaner conditional logic and error handling

System Stability

• Import Resolution: Fixed relative import issues in services
• Error Propagation: Better error handling throughout the fallback chain
• Memory Management: Optimized local model loading and cleanup
• Logging Consistency: Standardized logging across all services

⚠️ Breaking Changes

Configuration Updates

• New Dependencies: llama-cpp-python is now required for local LLM
• Model Storage: Local model must be placed in models/ directory
• Memory Requirements: Minimum 2GB RAM recommended for optimal performance

API Changes

• Service Priority: New fallback order may affect response times
• Error Messages: Enhanced error reporting with service transition details
• Logging Format: More detailed logging for debugging and monitoring

🔄 Migration Guide
