BREAKING CHANGE: Complete migration from TensorFlow.js to Transformers.js for embedding generation This is a major architectural change that replaces TensorFlow.js (USE model) with Transformers.js (all-MiniLM-L6-v2) for significantly improved performance and reduced complexity. Key Changes: - Replace TensorFlow.js Universal Sentence Encoder with Transformers.js all-MiniLM-L6-v2 - Reduce model size from 525MB to 87MB (83% reduction) - Reduce embedding dimensions from 512 to 384 (faster distance calculations) - Remove TensorFlow.js Float32Array patching (caused ONNX conflicts) - Implement smart bundled model detection for offline operation - Add explicit model download script for Docker deployments - Remove complex environment variables in favor of simple configuration - Update all distance functions to use optimized pure JavaScript - Remove TensorFlow-specific utilities and type definitions Performance Improvements: - Model loading: 5x faster (87MB vs 525MB) - Memory usage: 75% reduction (~200-400MB vs ~1.5GB) - Distance calculations: Faster pure JS vs GPU overhead for small vectors - Cold start performance: Significantly improved Files Changed: - Updated package.json: New dependencies, simplified scripts - Rewrote src/utils/embedding.ts: Complete Transformers.js implementation - Updated src/utils/distance.ts: Optimized JavaScript distance functions - Simplified src/setup.ts: Removed TensorFlow-specific patching - Simplified src/utils/textEncoding.ts: Only Node.js TextEncoder/Decoder patches - Deleted src/utils/robustModelLoader.ts: TensorFlow-specific loader - Deleted src/types/tensorflowTypes.ts: TensorFlow type definitions - Added scripts/download-models.cjs: Docker-compatible model downloader - Added comprehensive documentation: README.md, OFFLINE_MODELS.md, analysis docs Testing: - All 19 tests passing - Removed test mocking in favor of real implementation testing - Updated test environment for Transformers.js compatibility - Performance tests validate improved efficiency This migration resolves production issues with Docker egress limitations and provides a more robust, performant foundation for vector operations. |
