# MMAR - Multi-Modal Agentic Router

A Multi-Modal Agentic Router that routes and processes tasks across vision analysis, knowledge base retrieval, web-augmented reasoning, and code generation.

---

## The Problem

Modern AI applications often use a single model for fundamentally different workloads:

- coding and debugging
- deep reasoning and planning
- image / document understanding
- private company knowledge retrieval
- fresh web research
- code execution and testing

That creates three problems:

1. **Capability mismatch** — a model optimized for reasoning may be inefficient for coding or vision.
2. **Context overload** — dumping every document, tool result, and conversation turn into one prompt increases token usage and noise.
3. **Weak execution** — generating an answer is not the same as retrieving evidence, running code, checking the result, and validating it.

—-
## Our Solution

Multi-Modal Agentic Routerturns the LLM into an **orchestrated system rather than a single chatbot**.

```text
User
  ↓
Task Analyzer
  ↓
Model Router
  ├── Vision Model
  ├── Reasoning Model
  └── Coding Model
          ↓
      Agent Engine
       ├── Knowledge Base / Local RAG
       ├── Web Augmentation
       ├── File Tools
       └── Sandbox / Code Execution
          ↓
    Result Validation
          ↓
       Final Output
```

The system dynamically selects the model and tools required for the task instead of sending every request through the same pipeline.

## Hackathon Tracks

We have used the **Auth0 track** and **.xyz track**:
- **Auth0 Track**: Integrated Auth0 for secure user authentication, Universal Login, session management, and account-isolated chat sessions and knowledge base storage.
- **.xyz Track**: Leveraged the `.xyz` domain track for hosting and public web deployment of the 3rd-Route workbench platform.

---

## Pipeline Architecture

- Vision Stage: Analyzes images, diagrams, and error screenshots with a free OpenRouter vision model.
- Reasoning Stage: Performs local RAG on ingested documents and live web search via OpenRouter to produce structured technical specifications.
- Coding Stage: Implements working solutions from specifications using Ollama Cloud.
- Router: Automatically determines task requirements and coordinates stage execution.

## Prerequisites

- Python 3.10 or higher
- Tesseract OCR (required for OCR and image text extraction)
  - Ubuntu/Debian: `sudo apt-get install tesseract-ocr`
  - macOS: `brew install tesseract`
  - Windows: Install via the official installer and add the installation folder to your PATH.

## Setup

1. Clone the repository:
   ```bash
   git clone <repository-url>
   cd MMAR
   ```

2. Create and activate a virtual environment:
   ```bash
   python -m venv .venv
   ```
   - On Windows:
     ```powershell
     .venv\Scripts\activate
     ```
   - On Linux/macOS:
     ```bash
     source .venv/bin/activate
     ```

3. Install dependencies:
   ```bash
   pip install -r requirements.txt
   ```

4. Configure environment variables:
   Copy the example environment file:
   ```bash
   cp .env.example .env
   ```
   Open `.env` and provide your API keys:
   - `OPENROUTER_API_KEY`: OpenRouter API key
   - `OPENROUTER_API_KEY_ALT`: Optional alternate OpenRouter key
   - `OLLAMA_API_KEY`: Ollama Cloud API key

## Usage

### 1. Web Frontend Mode (3rd-Route)

3rd-Route provides a modern React-based UI inspired by clean, minimalist desktop AI workbenches, with Auth0 authentication and multi-stage pipeline controls.

1. **Start the local API backend server**:
   - On Windows (PowerShell):
     ```powershell
     python server.py
     ```
   - On Linux/macOS:
     ```bash
     python3 server.py
     ```
   The backend API listens on `http://localhost:8000`.

2. **Start the React frontend**:
   - In a separate terminal:
     ```bash
     cd frontend
     npm install
     npm run dev
     ```
  

---

### 2. Interactive Terminal Mode
Run the router interactively:
```bash
python modelrouter.py
```

### 3. CLI Mode
Submit a text query directly:
```bash
python modelrouter.py --text "Explain how vector databases work."
```

Submit an image with an optional prompt:
```bash
python modelrouter.py --image "path/to/diagram.png" --prompt "Explain this architecture"
```

Ingest a document into the local knowledge base:
```bash
python knowledge.py --ingest "path/to/document.pdf"
```

---

## Release & Local Distribution

3rd-Route is designed as a **local application** distributed as release archives (`.zip`, `.tar.gz`). Users download the release archive, extract it locally, configure their keys, and run it on their own machines.

### Release Installation Flow

1. **Download & Extract** the latest release archive (`3rd-Route-v1.0.0.zip`) from GitHub Releases.
2.**Release version(**
3. **Create and activate the Python virtual environment**:
   - PowerShell:
     ```powershell
     python -m venv .venv
     .venv\Scripts\activate
     ```
   - Bash (Linux/macOS):
     ```bash
     python3 -m venv .venv
     source .venv/bin/activate
     ```
4. **Install Python backend dependencies**:
   ```bash
   pip install -r requirements.txt
   ```
5. **Configure backend environment variables**:
   ```bash
   cp .env.example .env
   ```
   Provide your `OPENROUTER_API_KEY` and `OLLAMA_API_KEY`.
6. **Install and configure frontend**:
   ```bash
   cd frontend
   npm install
   cp .env.example .env.local
   ```
   Configure `VITE_API_BASE_URL=http://localhost:8000` and Auth0 keys (`VITE_AUTH0_DOMAIN`, `VITE_AUTH0_CLIENT_ID`).
7. **Start the application**:
   - Terminal 1: `python server.py`
   - Terminal 2: `cd frontend && npm run dev`
