## 🔧 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:**
```yaml
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:
    - vision-model-cache:/root/.cache/clip
  depends_on:
    - qdrant
```

**Qdrant:**
```yaml
qdrant:
  image: qdrant/qdrant:v1.7.4
  ports: ["6333:6333", "6334:6334"]
  volumes:
    - qdrant-data:/qdrant/storage
```

### 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`):**
```python
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`):**
```yaml
- 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')

# Insert to Qdrant

  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d "{
    \"points\": [
      {
        \"id\": 1,

## 📈 Performance & Monitoring

### Metrics

## 🔧 Troubleshooting

### Problem: CUDA not available

**Solution:**
```bash
# 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:**
```bash
# 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**
