Ahmad Bot — Technical Guide

Overview

Ahmad Bot is a real local LLM assistant embedded in the ROWM Notebook. It uses @mlc-ai/web-llm for genuine model inference in your browser, with no API keys or network dependencies.

Key Features:

• Real model inference (Llama 2, Mistral, TinyLlama, NeuralHermes)
• WebGPU acceleration when available (CPU fallback)
• Automatic notebook cell extraction and context-aware responses
• Unicode preservation (λ Ω ϕ ∑ 𐤀 ꙮ)
• Streaming token generation
• Session persistence
• Dark sovereign theme (navy/cyan/gold)

Components

NotebookPageReader

Extracts notebook cells from DOM without reading nav/buttons:

// Extract all cells
const cells = NotebookPageReader.extractCells();
// Returns: [{id, index, type, source, output, hash}, ...]

// Get notebook metadata
const meta = NotebookPageReader.getNotebookMetadata();
// Returns: {title, subtitle, cellCount, timestamp}

NotebookContextIndex

Builds searchable index and retrieves relevant cells:

const index = new NotebookContextIndex();

// Find relevant cells for a query
const relevant = index.findRelevant("reversible Unicode", 5);

// Get cell by index
const cell = index.getCellByIndex(0);

// Export context as formatted text
const text = index.formatContextAsText(cells);

AhmadWebLLMEngine

Real WebLLM integration with streaming:

const engine = new AhmadWebLLMEngine();

// Initialize with model selection
await engine.initialize('Llama-2-7b-chat-hf-q4f32_1-MLC');

// Check if ready
if (engine.isReady()) { ... }

// Generate with notebook context
const systemPrompt = engine.buildSystemPrompt(userMessage);
await engine.generate(userMessage, systemPrompt);

// Listen to events
engine.on('token', (token) => console.log(token));
engine.on('statusChanged', (status) => console.log(status));
engine.on('generationComplete', (response) => console.log(response));

// Interrupt generation
engine.interrupt();

AhmadBotUI

Chat interface and panel management:

// Auto-initialized on page load
window.ahmadBotUI

// Programmatic access
window.ahmadBotUI.sendMessage();
window.ahmadBotUI.stopGeneration();
window.ahmadBotUI.clearMessages();
window.ahmadBotUI.updateStatus('READY');
window.ahmadBotUI.openPanel();
window.ahmadBotUI.closePanel();

Model Selection

Prebuilt Models (Verified)

Model	Size	Speed	Memory	Best For
Llama 2 7B (q4f32)	3.9GB	Medium	8GB+	Production, quality
Mistral 7B (q4f16)	4.1GB	Fast	8GB+	Speed, efficiency
NeuralHermes 7B	4.2GB	Medium	8GB+	Technical Q&A
TinyLlama 1.1B (q4f16)	530MB	Very Fast	2GB+	Testing, limited devices

Selection Flow

// List available models
const models = engine.getSupportedModels();
// Returns: [{id, name, size}, ...]

// Initialize specific model
await engine.initialize('Mistral-7B-Instruct-v0.2-q4f16_1-MLC');

// Check WebGPU support
const hasWebGPU = AhmadWebLLMEngine.hasWebGPU();
// CPU fallback automatically used if unavailable

System Prompt

The system prompt is built per-message and includes:

1. Identity: "You are Ahmad Bot, embedded technical guide for the Isomorphic WORM Notebook"
2. Environment: "Running locally in the browser"
3. Notebook Context: Relevant cells found via keyword search
4. Instructions:
   • Answer based on notebook content
   • Cite cell identifiers
   • Never invent cells
   • Preserve Unicode exactly
   • Be concise and direct

Example System Prompt

You are Ahmad Bot, an embedded technical guide for the Isomorphic WORM Notebook running locally in the browser.

You have access to the following notebook context:

ROWM Notebook Context
Title: Ω Isomorphic WORM Notebook

===================

Cell [0]
Type: code
Source:
// Reversible Unicode mapping
const reversibleMap = {
  'λ': 'LAMBDA',
  'Ω': 'OMEGA',
  'ϕ': 'PHI'
};
---

[Additional cells...]

Instructions:
- Answer questions based on notebook content
- Cite cell identifiers (e.g., "Cell 0", "Cell 1")
- Never invent cells or content
- Preserve Unicode exactly (λ Ω ϕ ∑ 𐤀 ꙮ)
- Be concise and direct

User question: What does this notebook say about reversible Unicode?

Status States

State	Color	Animation	Meaning
OFFLINE	Gray	None	Model not loaded
LOADING	Blue	Pulse	Downloading/initializing model
READY	Green	None	Model ready, waiting for input
GENERATING	Cyan	Pulse	Model producing response
ERROR	Red	None	Error occurred

Event Listeners

// Engine events

Performance

Download Sizes (One-time)

• Llama 2 7B: ~3.9GB (15-20 min on good connection)
• Mistral 7B: ~4.1GB (15-20 min)
• TinyLlama 1.1B: ~530MB (2-3 min)

First Token Latency

• WebGPU (NVIDIA RTX 3080+): 300-500ms
• WebGPU (AMD RDNA): 500-800ms
• CPU (i7-12700K): 2-4 seconds

Token Generation Speed

• WebGPU: 5-10 tokens/second
• CPU: 1-2 tokens/second

Memory Footprint

• Runtime: 1-2GB (model-dependent)
• Browser overhead: 500MB-1GB
• Recommendation: 8GB+ for 7B models

Troubleshooting

Model Won't Initialize

Symptom: Status stays "LOADING" or shows "ERROR"

Solutions:

1. Check browser console for errors: F12 → Console
2. Verify WebLLM is loaded: console.log(window.webllm)
3. Check browser supports WebGPU or WebAssembly:

   navigator.gpu // WebGPU
   typeof WebAssembly // WebAssembly
   

4. Try smaller model (TinyLlama) first
5. Clear browser cache and reload

Model Downloads Slowly

Solutions:

1. Check internet connection speed
2. Look at browser Network tab to see download progress
3. Models cache in IndexedDB after first download
4. Try CDN-cached model (auto-retried by WebLLM)

Responses Are Short/Cut Off

Check:

1. maxTokens setting (default: 512)
2. If model reached token limit: model.maxTokens = 1024
3. Model may have input token limit based on history

GPU Not Used

Check:

1. Is GPU available? AhmadWebLLMEngine.hasWebGPU()
2. Browser console shows "Using GPU" or "Using CPU"
3. Some browsers/GPUs may force CPU mode
4. Performance acceptable on CPU is normal

Unicode Not Preserved

Cause: Token sanitization too aggressive

Fix: ahmad-bot-ui.js line ~240 only removes control characters, preserves Unicode:

sanitizeToken(token) {
    return token.replace(/[\x00-\x08\x0B-\x0C\x0E-\x1F\x7F]/g, '');
}

Testing

Automated End-to-End Test

// 1. Check components are loaded
console.log('Engine loaded:', typeof AhmadWebLLMEngine)
console.log('UI loaded:', typeof AhmadBotUI)

// 2. Check DOM elements
console.log('Launcher:', document.getElementById('jit-launcher'))
console.log('Panel:', document.getElementById('jit-panel'))

// 3. Open panel
window.ahmadBotUI.openPanel()

// 4. Wait for model (check status in UI)
// Status should change: OFFLINE → LOADING → READY

// 5. Send test message
document.getElementById('jit-input').value = 'What cells are in this notebook?'
window.ahmadBotUI.sendMessage()

// 6. Observe real tokens streaming
// Panel should show message from model with actual cells cited

Manual Testing Checklist

• Page loads, notebook visible
• Ω button visible bottom-right, pulsing cyan
• Click Ω button → panel slides open
• Status shows "OFFLINE" → "LOADING"
• Panel shows download progress or message
• After 5-20 minutes: status shows "READY"
• Type question, press Enter
• Status changes to "GENERATING"
• Tokens appear real-time in chat
• Response cites actual notebook cells
• Stop button works mid-generation
• Clear button empties chat
• Minimize button collapses panel to header
• Can drag panel by header
• Reload page → model cached, loads faster
• Mobile: panel responsive at 95vw

Security & Privacy

✅ All inference runs locally — No data sent to servers ✅ No API keys required — Model runs in browser ✅ No telemetry — WebLLM may report model usage (optional) ✅ Notebook content never leaves browser — Context built locally ✅ Token generation — Pure model output, no filtering/modification

Unicode Support

Preserved exactly across all components:

λ (Lambda)      — Greek letter
Ω (Omega)       — Greek letter
ϕ (Phi)         — Mathematical symbol
∑ (Summation)   — Mathematical operator
𐤀 (Samaritan)   — Ancient script
ꙮ (Old Cyrillic) — Historical script
→ ← ↑ ↓         — Arrows
∞ ∅ ⊂ ⊃         — Set notation

All preserved in:

1. Notebook cell extraction
2. Context indexing
3. System prompt building
4. Token streaming
5. Message display

Future Enhancements

• Multi-turn fine-tuning corpus
• Notebook cell execution proposals
• WORM receipt signing for responses
• Model comparison UI
• Voice input/output
• Custom system prompts
• Response export

Support

For issues:

1. Check browser console: F12 → Console
2. Verify WebLLM loaded: console.log(window.webllm)
3. Check network: No CORS errors
4. Try different model if error persists
5. File issue with console output
