🔧 Implementation Details

1. FastAPI Service (services/vision-encoder/app/main.py)

Endpoints:

Endpoint	Method	Description	Input	Output
/health	GET	Health check	-	{status, device, model, cuda_available, gpu_name}
/info	GET	Model info	-	{model_name, pretrained, device, embedding_dim, ...}
/embed/text	POST	Text embedding	{text, normalize}	{embedding[768], dimension, model, normalized}
/embed/image	POST	Image embedding (URL)	{image_url, normalize}	{embedding[768], dimension, model, normalized}
/embed/image/upload	POST	Image embedding (file)	file + normalize	{embedding[768], dimension, model, normalized}

Model Loading:

• Lazy initialization (model loads on first request or startup)
• Global cache (_model, _preprocess, _tokenizer)
• Auto device detection (CUDA if available, else CPU)
• Model weights cached in Docker volume /root/.cache/clip

Performance:

• Text embedding: 10-20ms (GPU) / 500-1000ms (CPU)
• Image embedding: 30-50ms (GPU) / 2000-4000ms (CPU)
• Batch support: Not yet implemented (future enhancement)

2. Docker Configuration

Dockerfile:

• Base: pytorch/pytorch:2.1.0-cuda12.1-cudnn8-runtime
• Installs: open_clip_torch, fastapi, uvicorn, httpx, Pillow
• GPU support: NVIDIA CUDA 12.1 + cuDNN 8
• Healthcheck: curl -f http://localhost:8001/health

docker-compose.yml:

vision-encoder:
  build: ./services/vision-encoder
  ports: ["8001:8001"]
  environment:
    - DEVICE=cuda
    - MODEL_NAME=ViT-L-14
    - MODEL_PRETRAINED=openai
  deploy:
    resources:
      reservations:
        devices:
          - driver: nvidia
            count: 1
            capabilities: [gpu]
  volumes:

3. DAGI Router Integration

Provider (providers/vision_encoder_provider.py):

• Extends Provider base class
• Implements call(request: RouterRequest) -> RouterResponse
• Routes based on payload.operation:
  • embed_text → /embed/text
  • embed_image → /embed/image
• Returns embeddings in RouterResponse.data

Registry (providers/registry.py):

vision_encoder_url = os.getenv("VISION_ENCODER_URL", "http://vision-encoder:8001")
provider = VisionEncoderProvider(
    provider_id="vision_encoder",
    base_url=vision_encoder_url,
    timeout=60
)
registry["vision_encoder"] = provider

Routing Rule (router-config.yml):

- id: vision_encoder_embed
  priority: 3
  when:
    mode: vision_embed
  use_provider: vision_encoder
  description: "Text/Image embeddings → Vision Encoder (OpenCLIP ViT-L/14)"

  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "vectors": {
      "size": 768,
      "distance": "Cosine"
    }
  }'

Insert embeddings:

# Get embedding first
EMBEDDING=$(curl -s -X POST http://localhost:8001/embed/text \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"text": "DAARION DAO", "normalize": true}' | jq -c '.embedding')

🔧 Troubleshooting

Problem: CUDA not available

Solution:

# Check NVIDIA runtime
docker run --rm --gpus all nvidia/cuda:12.1.0-base-ubuntu22.04 nvidia-smi

# Restart Docker
sudo systemctl restart docker

# Verify docker-compose.yml has GPU config
deploy:
  resources:
    reservations:
      devices:
        - driver: nvidia
          count: 1
          capabilities: [gpu]

Problem: Model download fails

Solution:

# Pre-download model weights
docker exec -it dagi-vision-encoder python -c "
import open_clip
model, _, preprocess = open_clip.create_model_and_transforms('ViT-L-14', pretrained='openai')
"

# Check cache
docker exec -it dagi-vision-encoder ls -lh /root/.cache/clip

Problem: OOM (Out of Memory)

Solution:

1. Use smaller model: ViT-B-32 (2 GB VRAM)
2. Check GPU processes: nvidia-smi (kill other processes)
3. Reduce image resolution in preprocessing

Problem: Slow inference on CPU

Solution:

• Service falls back to CPU if GPU unavailable
• CPU is 50-100x slower than GPU
• For production: GPU required
