Let's ship a unified sensor interface called "Cue" that connects to any huggingface model on the fly to achieve the task. So if the user asks about age, it finds the most relevant age detection model on huggingface and uses it instantly. User asks about object tracking, it uses yolo on the fly. get the jist?

HAMSTER2

Love this concept! I totally get it — Cue is an adaptive, task-agnostic sensor interface that intelligently discovers and instantiates the right HuggingFace model for whatever the user asks.

So the user experience is super smooth:

User: "Detect age in this image" → Cue finds a top-rated age detection model, loads it, runs it
User: "Track that object" → Cue switches gears, pulls a YOLO variant, processes it
No friction, no manual model selection, no workflow changes

That's a powerful UX pattern — basically a semantic router on top of HF's model hub.

To help you plan this properly, I'd love to get context on what you're already working with:

Set up code & service connections — if you link a repo, I can understand your codebase better. Plus, HuggingFace API connections would help me reference their specs.

Then let me ask: What's the scope you're targeting for v1?

Just vision models (age detection, object tracking, etc.)?
Multi-modal eventually?
What's the deployment model — cloud API, edge device, hybrid?
Who's the primary user — developers building apps, or end-users interacting directly?

All senses. let's go with soft sensors for now. hard sensors is hardware specific. but soft sensors use all the sensors of most common hardware. so vision, audio for now

HAMSTER

Oh, this is way more interesting. So Cue becomes a true unified sensor platform:

Vision + Audio (soft sensors) = leveraging what's already on most devices (camera, microphone)

User asks: "What's happening in this video?" → Vision models (scene understanding, object detection, etc.)
User asks: "Transcribe this" or "Detect emotion in this voice" → Audio models (speech-to-text, audio classification, emotion detection)
All dynamically discovered from HuggingFace based on natural language intent

Hard sensors (future) = hardware-specific (GPS, accelerometer, temperature, etc.)

This is a genuinely powerful abstraction layer.

A few clarifying questions:

Model Discovery Logic — How does Cue decide which model to use? Keyword matching? Semantic search on HF's model cards? User feedback/rating system?

Priority & Constraints — Vision first, then audio? Any latency/performance targets? Edge device vs cloud API?

Context — Are you building this from scratch or integrating into existing product/platform? What's the deployment — web app, mobile, SDK?

Team — Who's working on this? (helps me understand what kind of brief would be most useful)

Project Cue: Unified Soft Sensor Interface

Executive Summary

Cue is a unified sensor platform that intelligently routes user requests to the right AI model. An LLM acts as the decision engine — analyzing user intent, discovering relevant HuggingFace models, and orchestrating execution. Launch with vision and audio soft sensors; hard sensors (GPS, accelerometer, etc.) as future phases.

Core Value: Zero friction model selection. Users ask questions naturally; Cue handles the complexity.

Project Context

Primary Input: Vision (camera) and Audio (microphone) — leveraging sensors available on most modern devices
Model Source: HuggingFace model hub (dynamic discovery & loading)
Intelligence Layer: LLM-based router that interprets intent and selects optimal models
Deployment: Starting with cloud API/web interface, edge optimization later

Goals

Build a working LLM router that maps user intent → HuggingFace models
Implement vision and audio processing pipelines with dynamic model loading
Create seamless UX where users never think about model selection
Establish foundation for scaling to hard sensors and multi-modal queries
Optimize for latency, cost, and model quality

Phases & Breakdown

Phase 1: Foundation & LLM Router (Weeks 1-3)

Task 1.1: LLM Router Architecture

1.1.1: Design LLM prompt/system that interprets user intent
Input: natural language request
Output: structured task definition (sensor type, sub-task, parameters)
1.1.2: Set up LLM integration (GPT-4, Claude, open model?)
1.1.3: Build intent classification system (vision vs audio vs multi-modal)
1.1.4: Create task parser that extracts model requirements from LLM output

Task 1.2: HuggingFace Integration

1.2.1: Build HF API client for model discovery
Query by task type (object-detection, speech-recognition, etc.)
Filter by popularity/downloads/rating
Handle model card parsing
1.2.2: Implement model loading & caching logic
1.2.3: Create fallback mechanism (if primary model fails, try alternatives)
