- Minimum 1GB RAM, 2 CPU cores

## Quick Start

1. Build and deploy:

   curl http://localhost:8000/metrics
   

Monitoring

• Health: http://localhost:8000/health
• Metrics: http://localhost:8000/metrics
• Logs: docker logs neural-classifier

Scaling

For production deployment, consider:

• Kubernetes deployment with HPA
• Load balancer for multiple replicas
• GPU acceleration for higher throughput
• Model quantization for edge deployment EOF

Troubleshooting

Authentication Issues:

# Re-authenticate with Flow Nexus
mcp__flow-nexus__user_login {
  "email": "[email protected]",
  "password": "secure_pass"
}

Training Not Converging:

• Reduce learning rate (try 0.0001)
• Increase batch size
• Add learning rate scheduling
• Check data preprocessing

Resource Limitations:

• Scale cluster nodes
• Enable WASM optimization
• Use model quantization
• Reduce batch size

Deployment Failures:

• Check Docker logs
• Verify port availability
• Ensure sufficient resources
• Test health endpoint

Best Practices

1. Always version your models - Include version in metadata
2. Monitor training metrics - Track loss, accuracy, learning rate
3. Save checkpoints regularly - Every 5-10 epochs
4. Validate thoroughly - Test on holdout set
5. Document hyperparameters - Track all configuration
6. Enable monitoring - Use Prometheus metrics
7. Test before production - Run inference tests
8. Plan for scaling - Consider load and latency requirements
