| # DynamicCache Error Fix - Quick Summary | |
| ## Problem | |
| ``` | |
| ERROR: Local model error: 'DynamicCache' object has no attribute 'seen_tokens' | |
| ``` | |
| **Result**: Quality Score 0.00 for all transcripts, no analysis extracted. | |
| --- | |
| ## Root Cause | |
| Version incompatibility in transformers library's caching mechanism during model generation. | |
| --- | |
| ## ✅ Fixes Applied | |
| ### 1. Code Fix (llm.py) | |
| Added `use_cache=False` parameter to disable problematic caching: | |
| ```python | |
| outputs = query_llm_local.model.generate( | |
| **inputs, | |
| max_new_tokens=max_tokens, | |
| temperature=temperature, | |
| do_sample=temperature > 0, | |
| pad_token_id=query_llm_local.tokenizer.eos_token_id, | |
| use_cache=False # ← Fixes DynamicCache error | |
| ) | |
| ``` | |
| **Trade-off**: ~10-20% slower generation, but error-free. | |
| ### 2. Enhanced Error Handling | |
| - Better error messages with specific guidance | |
| - Automatic detection of DynamicCache issues | |
| - Recommendations for next steps | |
| ### 3. Diagnostic Tool | |
| Created `fix_local_model.py` to diagnose and resolve issues automatically. | |

| ## 🚀 Recommended Actions (Pick One) | |
| ### Option A: Upgrade Transformers (Quick Fix) | |
| ```bash | |
| pip install --upgrade transformers | |
| python -c "import transformers; print(transformers.__version__)" | |
| ``` | |
| **Expected**: Version 4.36.0 or higher | |
| ### Option B: Use HuggingFace API (Easiest) | |
| ```bash | |
| # Get token from: https://huggingface.co/settings/tokens | |
| export HUGGINGFACE_TOKEN='hf_your_token_here' | |
| export USE_HF_API=True | |
| ``` | |
| ### Option C: Use LMStudio (Best for Offline) | |
| 1. Download: https://lmstudio.ai/ | |
| 2. Install and start server | |
| 3. Set environment: | |
| ```bash | |
| export USE_LMSTUDIO=True | |
| export LMSTUDIO_URL=http://localhost:1234 | |
| ``` | |
| ### Option D: Run Diagnostic | |
| ```bash | |
| python fix_local_model.py | |
| ``` | |
| Automatically detects and guides you through fixes. | |
| --- | |
| ## Verification | |
| After applying any fix, test: | |
| ```bash | |
| python -c "from llm import query_llm_local; print(query_llm_local('Test', max_tokens=10))" | |
| ``` | |
| **Success**: Returns text (not error message) | |
| **Still failing**: Try Option B or C above | |

| ## Next Steps | |
| 1. **Choose a solution** (A, B, C, or D above) | |
| 2. **Apply the fix** | |
| 3. **Restart your application** | |
| 4. **Process a test transcript** | |
| 5. **Verify Quality Score > 0.00** | |

| ## Quick Reference | |
| | Issue | Fix | | |
| |-------|-----| | |
| | Quality Score 0.00 | LLM is failing - apply fixes above | | |
| | DynamicCache error | use_cache=False (already applied) + upgrade transformers | | |
| | Slow processing | Use HF API (Option B) for speed | | |
| | Offline required | Use LMStudio (Option C) | | |
| | Not sure what to do | Run diagnostic (Option D) | | |
