# Clone repository
git clone https://github.com/NeuralDreamResearch/OfSM.git
cd OfSM
# Create virtual environment
python -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate # Linux/Mac
# or venv\Scripts\activate # Windows
# Install dependencies
pip install -r requirements.txt
# Start the server
python backend.pyAccess the app:
- Main Feed: http://localhost:5000
- Admin Panel: http://localhost:5000/admin (login:
admin/admin)
Edit these variables in backend.py:
# Model Settings
MODEL_ID = "Qwen/Qwen3-4B-Instruct-2507" # Can change to any Qwen3 model
MAX_POST_LEN = 500 # Max characters per post
MAX_COMMENT_LEN = 250 # Max characters per comment
NUM_AI_POSTS = 2 # AI posts per search query
# Performance Tuning
MAX_WORKERS_PER_GPU = 2 # Concurrent tasks per GPU
# Increase to 3-4 for 12GB+ GPUs, decrease to 1 for 6GB GPUs- Human Posts: Type in the composer and click "Post"
- AI Posts: Enter a topic (e.g., "quantum computing") and click "🤖 Generate"
- Comments: Reply to any post - AI personas will respond automatically within seconds
- Navigate to Admin Panel 🔐
- Add Persona: Name + style description
- Edit Persona: Click "Edit" to modify name/style
- Delete Persona: Click "Delete" to remove permanently
Example Personas:
{
"name": "Quantum Physicist",
"style": "Uses technical terminology, references papers, analytical tone"

Tested on Qwen3-4B-Instruct with 8-bit quantization
Edit static/app.js:
function likePost(id) {
// Implement like functionality
fetch(`/api/posts/${id}/like`, { method: 'POST' });
}Dark mode is built-in. Toggle in the header or set default in app.js:
localStorage.setItem('theme', 'dark'); // Force dark modeDownload any Qwen3 model from Hugging Face:
# Replace in backend.py
MODEL_ID = "Qwen/Qwen3-8B-Instruct" # Larger model, needs 12GB+ VRAM# Reduce workers in backend.py
MAX_WORKERS_PER_GPU = 1 # Conservative setting
# or use smaller model
MODEL_ID = "Qwen/Qwen3-1.8B-Instruct"# Change port in backend.py
app.run(host='0.0.0.0', port=5001) # Use 5001 instead- Enable Flash Attention: Works automatically with compatible GPUs
- Reduce max_tokens: Lower
MAX_POST_LENandMAX_COMMENT_LEN - Use single GPU: Set
device_map="cuda:0"for both models
[Include screenshots here - add to docs/ folder]
- Feed View - Modern card-based layout
- AI Generation - Instant post creation from search
- Admin Panel - Persona management interface
