Morning Session

  • Time: 10:00 AM
  • Model: R-AI

Context

This session took a deep dive into designing and implementing the NovaSystem Autogen Ollama Local LLM Bot, focusing on:

  1. The Core Bot Unit: A central module orchestrating user interactions, sub-agent calls, and logging.
  2. The Metadata-Rich JSON Logging: Capturing every user turn, assistant response, system metrics, and chain-of-thought steps.
  3. Scalability & Maintainability: Potential edge cases, testing strategies, and recommended best practices (including Dockerization, concurrency considerations, and partial failure handling).

Below, we fill out the discussion with concrete examples—both conceptual and pseudocode—that demonstrate how each layer ties together.

Key Points

  1. Technical Architecture & Requirements

    • Local LLM (Ollama):

      • The system leverages a locally running Ollama instance. This means all inference happens on the user’s machine or a controlled server—removing external dependencies.
      • Example of an Ollama call in Python (hypothetical snippet): 
        def call_ollama(prompt: str) -> str:
    # e.g., run shell command or call local endpoint
    response = subprocess.run(["ollama", "run", "--prompt", prompt], capture_output=True, text=True)
    return response.stdout

    • AutoGen Agent Orchestration:

      • We compose a chain of sub-agents (Planner, Executor, Memory) using an AutoGen-like approach.
      • Planner might say: “The user wants a summary of a text. Let’s parse the text, then pass it to the LLM.”
      • Executor might actually call call_ollama or any other local tool.
      • Memory can store conversation states in a dictionary or file if needed.

    • Core Functional Flow:

      1. User enters a prompt.
      2. Bot logs the prompt to a JSON file (with a unique turn ID, timestamp, system metrics).
      3. Bot orchestrates sub-agents, building a chain-of-thought.
      4. Bot compiles final response, logs that as well, and displays it to the user.

    • Metadata-Rich Logging:

      • For each turn, we embed CPU usage, memory usage, Docker container info (if relevant), and model details (e.g., model_name, model_version, temperature) in the JSON file.
      • Sample snippet from the conversation log might look like: 
        {
  "id": "123e4567-e89b-12d3-a456-426614174000",
  "timestamp": "2024-12-25T12:34:56Z",
  "role": "assistant",
  "content": "Here is your summary...",
  "metadata": {
    "session_id": "12ab34cd-56ef-78gh-90ij-123456klmnop",
    "resource_usage": {
      "cpu_percent": 10.5,
      "mem_usage_mb": 1456
    },
    "model_details": {
      "model_name": "ollama-lora-7b",
      "model_version": "1.2.3",
      "temperature": 0.7
    },
    "program_info": {
      "version": "0.1.0",
      "git_commit": "abc123def"
    }
  },
  "chain_steps": [
    {
      "agent_name": "Planner",
      "input": "user wants a summary",
      "output": "Decompose steps: read text -> summarize with LLM",
      "timestamp": "2024-12-25T12:34:57Z",
      "elapsed_time_ms": 150
    },
    {
      "agent_name": "Executor",
      "input": "summarize text: 'The quick brown fox jumps...' etc.",
      "output": "Short summary of the text",
      "timestamp": "2024-12-25T12:34:58Z",
      "elapsed_time_ms": 300
    }
  ]
}

  2. Core Bot Unit Design

    • Input Pre-Processing:

      • We sanitize the user input to avoid malicious or unintended characters.
      • We generate a turn_id (uuid.uuid4()), record a timestamp, and store any relevant environment details.
      • Direct Example: If the user typed: 
        "Hey bot! Summarize this article: [URL or text]"
        we might store: 
        {
  "id": "c6aafa8a-89b6-4c87-b050-e1aede334c0d",
  "timestamp": "2024-12-25T10:00:00Z",
  "role": "user",
  "content": "Hey bot! Summarize this article: [URL or text]"
  ...
}

    • Agent Orchestration:

      • The Planner sub-agent sees that the user wants a summary.
      • The Executor sub-agent calls Ollama with a refined prompt: “Please produce a concise summary of the following text: …”
      • Each agent step is appended to a list in chain_steps.

    • Output Assembly:

      • Once the Executor sub-agent has the final LLM response, the bot compiles any concluding remarks.
      • The final text is returned for display.

    • Logging / Documentation:

      • The pseudocode from the session shows two records per turn: one for the user and one for the assistant.
      • Direct Example:
        1. User record logs the raw prompt.
        2. Assistant record logs the final response, chain steps, metrics, etc.

  3. Concrete Example of a Multi-Turn Interaction

    • Turn 1:
      • User: “Write a short story about a talking cat.”
      • Bot logs user data, calls the Planner → Executor chain. The LLM outputs a short story. Bot logs assistant data with chain steps.
    • Turn 2:
      • User: “Now summarize that story in 50 words.”
      • Bot references previous turn’s story (Memory agent), logs user data, orchestrates summarization, logs final summary.

  4. Identified Pitfalls & Mitigations

    • Large JSON Log Files:
      • Detailed metadata + chain-of-thought can balloon file size. We proposed log rotation or splitting logs by session.
    • Security & Privacy:
      • Chain-of-thought might inadvertently include user secrets. If this is a concern, you either anonymize or skip storing certain steps.
    • Concurrent Usage:
      • If multiple users share the bot concurrently, we need concurrency controls in file I/O (mutexes, etc.). The session-based design in the pseudocode is simpler for single-user scenarios.
    • Performance:
      • Synchronous file writes can slow down a chat with many turns. Consider batching or asynchronous writes if throughput is critical.

Outcomes

  1. Comprehensive Pseudocode

    • Showcases session_state that keeps track of:
      • session_id
      • log_file_path
      • turn_count
      • program_version
      • git_commit
    • Demonstrates how each user message is processed through core_bot_interaction(), which:
      1. Assigns IDs and timestamps
      2. Sanitizes input
      3. Runs run_agent_chain() (Planner/Executor steps)
      4. Creates user and assistant JSON records
      5. Writes them to the session log file

  2. Illustration of a Successful Turn

    • User Input: “Bot, please analyze the sentiment of this text: ‘I love sunshine and rainbows, but hate being cold.’”
    • Log Snippet: 
      [
  {
    "id": "turn-uuid-user",
    "timestamp": "2024-12-25T12:34:56Z",
    "role": "user",
    "content": "Bot, please analyze the sentiment...",
    "metadata": {
      "session_id": "session-uuid",
      "resource_usage": {
        "cpu_percent": 12.5,
        "mem_usage_mb": 1560
      },
      "model_details": {
        "model_name": "ollama-lora-7b",
        "model_version": "1.2.3",
        "temperature": 0.7
      },
      "program_info": {
        "version": "0.1.0",
        "git_commit": "abc123"
      }
    },
    "chain_steps": []
  },
  {
    "id": "turn-uuid-assistant",
    "timestamp": "2024-12-25T12:34:57Z",
    "role": "assistant",
    "content": "Overall sentiment is mixed: predominantly positive but with a mild negative aspect regarding cold.",
    "metadata": {
      "session_id": "session-uuid",
      "resource_usage": {
        "cpu_percent": 13.0,
        "mem_usage_mb": 1580
      },
      "model_details": {
        "model_name": "ollama-lora-7b",
        "model_version": "1.2.3",
        "temperature": 0.7
      },
      "program_info": {
        "version": "0.1.0",
        "git_commit": "abc123"
      }
    },
    "chain_steps": [
      {
        "agent_name": "Planner",
        "input": "Analyze sentiment of the text: 'I love sunshine...' etc.",
        "output": "Decide to pass to Executor for LLM-based analysis",
        "timestamp": "2024-12-25T12:34:56Z",
        "elapsed_time_ms": 50
      },
      {
        "agent_name": "Executor",
        "input": "Sentiment analysis request to LLM: 'I love sunshine...' etc.",
        "output": "Mixed sentiment: positivity about sunshine/rainbows, negativity about cold.",
        "timestamp": "2024-12-25T12:34:57Z",
        "elapsed_time_ms": 300
      }
    ]
  }
]
    • Notice how each step, from the user request to the final LLM output, is thoroughly documented.

  3. Final Takeaways

    • Complete Visibility: We see exactly how each user request is transformed and served. This level of detail makes debugging, auditing, and refinement easier.
    • Modular & Extensible: Additional sub-agents (web search, knowledge base queries) can be seamlessly integrated by adding new steps to the chain_steps array.
    • Testing & Production: We can push this design into production via Docker, ensuring reproducible environments. For large-scale usage, an HTTP server or concurrency approach can be layered on top without rewriting the core logic.

Conclusion

In summary, we’ve reached a deeply detailed blueprint for the NovaSystem Autogen Ollama Local LLM Bot. We have:

  1. Explicit Example Code: Pseudocode that covers session handling, input sanitization, chain-of-thought orchestration, and JSON logging for user + assistant messages.
  2. Concrete Log Illustrations: Step-by-step references of exactly what the log file might look like for typical queries (creative writing requests, summarization tasks, sentiment analysis).
  3. Scalability Strategies: Addressed large logs, concurrency, and secure chain-of-thought considerations.
  4. Deployment & Maintenance: A Docker-based approach with logging best practices (rotation, partial writes, session-based logs) was outlined for future expansions.

This Core Bot Unit design is ready to be integrated into a broader system, tested, and expanded with additional features. The session concluded with a confident, robust plan that merges simplicity, clarity, and flexibility—laying the foundation for further innovation and refinement.
