Key Architectural Innovations

1. Causal Attention Mechanism

# Causal attention ensures tokens can only attend to previous positions
attention_mask = torch.tril(torch.ones(seq_len, seq_len))
# Upper triangular = 0 (masked), Lower triangular = 1 (attended)

2. Position Encoding

# Sinusoidal position encoding for sequence order awareness
position_encodings = [
    sin(pos / 10000^(2i/d_model)) for i in range(d_model/2)
    cos(pos / 10000^(2i/d_model)) for i in range(d_model/2)
]

3. Layer Normalization

# Post-norm architecture for stable training
def layer_norm(x):
    return (x - mean(x)) / sqrt(var(x) + epsilon) * gamma + beta

Core Architecture Summary

Overview of Transformer-Based Architecture

The core architecture of our generative chat model system is built upon the Transformer architecture, which revolutionized natural language processing through its attention mechanisms and parallel processing capabilities. This architecture forms the foundation for all modern large language models used in our chatbot evaluation system.

Key Architectural Components

1. Input Processing Layer - Tokenization: Text input is converted into tokens using subword tokenizers - Embedding: Tokens are transformed into high-dimensional vector representations - Positional Encoding: Sequential order information is added to embeddings

2. Transformer Encoder-Decoder Structure - Encoder: Processes input context through multiple self-attention layers - Decoder: Generates responses autoregressively using masked self-attention - Cross-Attention: Enables information flow between encoder and decoder

3. Attention Mechanisms - Self-Attention: Computes relationships between all tokens in a sequence - Masked Attention: Prevents future token access during generation - Multi-Head Attention: Multiple attention heads capture different relationship types

4. Backend Integration - Model Providers: Unified interface for OpenAI, Gemini, Hugging Face models - Inference Engine: Optimized generation with caching and quantization - Safety Layer: Medical safety constraints and ethical AI alignment

CPU vs GPU Performance Scaling

CPU Performance (Intel i7-11700K): - Linear Scaling: Performance scales linearly with core count up to 8 cores - Memory Bandwidth: Limited by RAM speed (DDR4-3200: ~25 GB/s) - Thermal Throttling: Sustained loads may reduce performance by 10-20% - Power Consumption: 45-65W during inference

GPU Performance (RTX 3080): - Parallel Processing: 2-3x speedup over CPU for batch processing - Memory Bandwidth: Much higher (760 GB/s GDDR6X) - Tensor Cores: Specialized hardware for matrix operations - Power Consumption: 150-250W during intensive inference

Concurrent User Handling

Bottleneck Analysis: - Model Loading: Initial model load can take 30-60 seconds - Memory Usage: Each concurrent user requires ~2-4GB RAM - KV-Cache: Grows linearly with sequence length and users - Rate Limiting: API providers limit requests per minute

Scaling Strategies: - Model Sharding: Distribute models across multiple GPUs - Request Batching: Process multiple requests together - Caching: Cache frequent responses and model states - Load Balancing: Distribute requests across multiple instances
