Executive Summary

This plan details the implementation of a 3-model Advanced Summarization Pipeline for Tiny Scribe, featuring:

  • 3 independent model registries (Extraction, Embedding, Synthesis)
  • User-configurable extraction context (2K-8K tokens, default 4K)
  • Reasoning/thinking model support with independent toggles per stage
  • Sequential model loading for memory efficiency
  • Bilingual support (English + Traditional Chinese zh-TW)
  • Fail-fast error handling with graceful UI feedback
  • Complete independence from Standard mode

Architecture

Stage 1: EXTRACTION    → Parse transcript → Create windows → Extract JSON items
Stage 2: DEDUPLICATION → Compute embeddings → Remove semantic duplicates
Stage 3: SYNTHESIS     → Generate executive summary from deduplicated items

Key Metrics

Metric Value
New Code ~1,800 lines
Modified Code ~60 lines
Total Models 33 unique (13 + 4 + 16)
Default Models qwen3_1.7b_q4, granite-107m, qwen3_1.7b_q4
Memory Strategy Sequential load/unload (safe for HF Spaces Free Tier)

Design Decisions

Q1: Extraction Model List Composition (REVISION)

Decision: Option A - 11 models (≤1.7B), excluding LFM2-Extract models

Rationale: 11 models excluding LFM2-Extract specialized models (removed after testing showed 85.7% failure rate due to hallucination and schema non-compliance. Replaced with Qwen3 models that support reasoning and better handle Chinese content.)

Q1a: Synthesis Model Selection (NEW)

Decision: Restrict to models ≤4GB (max 4B parameters)

Rationale: HF Spaces Free Tier only has 16GB RAM; 7B+ models will OOM. Remove ernie_21b, glm_4_7_flash_reap_30b, qwen3_30b_thinking_q1, qwen3_30b_instruct_q1

Q2: Independence from Standard Mode

Decision: Option B - Both Extraction AND Synthesis fully independent from AVAILABLE_MODELS

Rationale: Full independence prevents parameter cross-contamination; synthesis models have their own optimized temperatures (0.7-0.9) separate from Standard mode

Q3: Extraction n_ctx UI Control

Decision: Option A - Slider (2K-8K, step 1024, default 4K)

Rationale: Maximum flexibility for users to balance precision vs speed

Q4: Default Models

Decision:

  • Extraction: qwen3_1.7b_q4 (supports reasoning, better Chinese understanding)
  • Embedding: granite-107m (fastest, good enough)
  • Synthesis: qwen3_1.7b_q4 (larger than extraction, better quality)

Rationale: Balanced defaults optimized for quality and speed. Qwen3 1.7B chosen over LFM2-Extract based on empirical testing showing superior extraction success rate and schema compliance.

Q5: Model Key Naming

Decision: Keep same keys (no prefix like adv_synth_)

Rationale: Simpler, less duplication, clear role-based config resolution

Q6: Model Overlap Between Stages

Decision: Allow overlap with independent settings per role

Rationale: Same model can be extraction + synthesis with different parameters

Q7: Reasoning Checkbox UI Flow

Decision: Option B - Separate checkboxes for extraction and synthesis

Rationale: Independent control per stage, clearer user intent

Q8: Thinking Block Display

Decision: Option A - Reuse "MODEL THINKING PROCESS" field

Rationale: Consistent with Standard mode, no UI layout changes needed

Q9: Window Token Counting with User n_ctx

Decision: Option A - Strict adherence to user's slider value

Rationale: Respect user's explicit choice, they may want larger/smaller windows

Q10: Model Loading Error Handling

Decision: Option C - Graceful failure with UI error message

Rationale: Most user-friendly, allows retry with different model

Testing Strategy

Phase 1: Model Registry Validation

python -c "
from app import EXTRACTION_MODELS, SYNTHESIS_MODELS
from meeting_summarizer.extraction import EMBEDDING_MODELS

assert len(EXTRACTION_MODELS) == 13, 'Extraction models count mismatch'
assert len(EMBEDDING_MODELS) == 4, 'Embedding models count mismatch'
assert len(SYNTHESIS_MODELS) == 16, 'Synthesis models count mismatch'

# Verify independent settings
ext_qwen = EXTRACTION_MODELS['qwen3_1.7b_q4']['inference_settings']['temperature']
syn_qwen = SYNTHESIS_MODELS['qwen3_1.7b_q4']['inference_settings']['temperature']
assert ext_qwen == 0.3, f'Extraction temp wrong: {ext_qwen}'
assert syn_qwen == 0.8, f'Synthesis temp wrong: {syn_qwen}'

print('✅ All model registries validated!')
"

Phase 2: UI Control Validation

Manual Checks:

  1. Select "Advanced" mode
  2. Verify 3 dropdowns show correct counts (13, 4, 16)
  3. Verify default models selected
  4. Adjust extraction_n_ctx slider (2K → 8K)
  5. Select qwen3_600m_q4 for extraction → reasoning checkbox appears
  6. Select qwen3_1.7b_q4 for extraction → reasoning checkbox visible (Qwen3 supports reasoning)
  7. Select qwen3_4b_thinking_q3 for synthesis → reasoning locked ON
  8. Verify model info panels update on selection

Phase 3: Pipeline Test - min.txt (Quick)

Configuration:

  • Extraction: qwen3_1.7b_q4 (default)
  • Extraction n_ctx: 4096 (default)
  • Embedding: granite-107m (default)
  • Synthesis: qwen3_1.7b_q4 (default)
  • Similarity threshold: 0.85 (default)

Expected:

  • 1 window created
  • ~2-4 items extracted
  • 0-1 duplicates removed
  • Final summary generated
  • Total time: ~30-60s
  • Download JSON contains trace

Phase 4: Pipeline Test - Reasoning Models

Configuration:

  • Extraction: qwen3_600m_q4
  • ☑ Enable Reasoning for Extraction (test hybrid model)
  • Extraction n_ctx: 2048 (smaller windows)
  • Embedding: granite-278m (test balanced embedding)
  • Synthesis: qwen3_1.7b_q4
  • ☑ Enable Reasoning for Synthesis

Expected:

  • More windows (~4-6 with 2K context)
  • "MODEL THINKING PROCESS" shows extraction thinking + ticker
  • ~10-15 items extracted
  • ~2-4 duplicates removed
  • Final summary with thinking blocks
  • Total time: ~2-3 min

Phase 5: Pipeline Test - full.txt (Production)

Configuration:

  • Extraction: qwen3_1.7b_q4 (high quality, reasoning enabled)
  • Extraction n_ctx: 4096 (default)
  • Embedding: qwen-600m (highest quality)
  • Synthesis: qwen3_4b_thinking_q3 (4B thinking model)
  • Output language: zh-TW (test Chinese)

Expected:

  • ~3-5 windows (4K context)
  • ~40-60 items extracted
  • ~10-15 duplicates removed
  • Final summary in Traditional Chinese
  • Total time: ~5-8 min
  • Download JSON with embedded trace (~1-2MB)

Phase 6: Error Handling Test (Q10: Option C)

Scenarios:

  1. Disconnect internet during model download
  2. Manually corrupt model cache
  3. Use invalid model repo_id in EXTRACTION_MODELS

Expected behavior:

  • Error message displayed in UI: "❌ Failed to load lfm2_extract_1.2b..."
  • Pipeline stops (doesn't try fallback)
  • User can select different model and retry
  • Trace file saved with error details

4. UI Integration (2-3 hours)

  • Add Advanced mode controls to Gradio interface
  • Implement reasoning checkbox visibility logic
  • Implement model info display functions
  • Wire up all event handlers
  • Test UI responsiveness

5. Pipeline Orchestration (3-4 hours)

  • Implement summarize_advanced() generator function
  • Sequential model loading/unloading logic
  • Error handling with graceful failures
  • Progress ticker updates
  • Trace embedding in download JSON

6. Testing & Validation (2-3 hours)

  • Run all test phases (min.txt → full.txt)
  • Validate reasoning models behavior
  • Test error handling scenarios
  • Performance optimization (if needed)

Risk Assessment

Risk Probability Impact Mitigation
Memory overflow on HF Spaces Free Tier Low High Sequential loading/unloading tested; add memory monitoring
Reasoning output breaks JSON parsing Medium Medium Robust thinking block parsing with fallback; strict error handling
User n_ctx slider causes OOM Low Medium Cap at MAX_USABLE_CTX (32K); show warning if user sets too high
Embedding models slow down pipeline Medium Low Default to granite-107m (fastest); user can upgrade if needed
Trace file too large Low Low Response sampling (400 chars) already implemented; compress if >5MB
