## Model Details
### Model Description
Study Buddy AI Lite is built on `microsoft/phi-2` and fine-tuned using PEFT (Parameter-Efficient Fine-Tuning). It was trained to behave like a study partner — casual, kind, encouraging, and deeply helpful for academic subjects and personal growth.
### Features
- Friendly tone tailored for Gen Z and students
- Explains complex topics using simple language
- Emotionally intelligent responses — supportive and motivational
- Great for studying, reviewing, or breaking down hard concepts
### Use Cases
- Personal tutoring via chat
- Homework help and study review
- Emotional motivation during learning sessions
- Supplementing lessons with a relatable assistant
### Limitations
- Doesn’t replace real tutors or teachers
- May hallucinate or simplify info if pushed too far
- Best used in short back-and-forths, not long essays
## Training & Fine-Tuning
- **Base model**: `microsoft/phi-2`
- **Fine-tuning method**: LoRA via the `peft` library
- **Custom dataset**: 3,000+ curated prompts focused on simplified teaching, emotional tone, and helpful behavior
- **Hosted via**: Hugging Face Inference Endpoints (GPU-backed)
## How It Works
Frontend ➝ Flask API ➝ Hugging Face Model ➝ Response ➝ KnowBetter Logic (to clean output)
Built to run inside a React + Flask stack with CORS enabled and token-secured backend access to Hugging Face.
