GGUF Timeout Fix - Progress Update

✅ Completed Steps:

1. Increased GGUF timeout: Changed from 120s to 300s for Hugging Face Spaces
2. Configurable timeout: Added GGUF_GENERATION_TIMEOUT environment variable support
3. Better error handling: Enhanced timeout and fallback mechanisms in routes.py
4. Fallback pipeline: Added robust fallback when GGUF model fails to load or times out

🔧 Changes Made:

model_loader_gguf.py:

• Updated _generate_with_timeout() to use 300s default for Spaces, 120s for local
• Made timeout configurable via environment variable
• Updated generate() to use configurable timeout

routes.py:

• Added fallback pipeline usage when GGUF times out
• Added better logging for timeout errors
• Added fallback for GGUF model loading failures
• Improved error messages and response handling

🚀 Next Steps:

• Test the changes with the GGUF model
• Verify timeout is sufficient for Phi-3 model
• Test fallback mechanisms
• Add progress logging for generation

⚙️ Configuration:

• Default timeout: 300s (Spaces) / 120s (local)
• Environment variable: GGUF_GENERATION_TIMEOUT
• Fallback: Template-based summary when GGUF fails
