A production-grade reference implementation for integrating AI into enterprise systems — covering model serving, RAG pipelines, multi-provider orchestration, document processing, and observability.
This repository is a hands-on reference for Solutions Engineers and AI Integration Architects responsible for bringing AI capabilities into enterprise environments. Each module is independently runnable and maps to a real-world integration scenario.
| Module | Scenario | Key Technologies |
|---|---|---|
| 01 · HuggingFace Fundamentals | Inference API, local models, embeddings | transformers, huggingface_hub |
| 02 · Grok Integration | Chat, function calling, streaming | openai SDK (xAI-compatible) |
| 03 · RAG Systems | Document Q&A, enterprise knowledge base | langchain, chromadb |
| 04 · Enterprise Patterns | Multi-model routing, cost control | Custom orchestration layer |
| 05 · Document Processing | PDF/DOCX ingestion, OCR, classification | unstructured, pytesseract |
| 06 · Monitoring & Observability | Token tracking, cost dashboards | prometheus, structlog |
| 07 · FastAPI Service | Production-ready AI microservice | fastapi, pydantic |

python 01-huggingface-fundamentals/inference_api.pyConnect to 500,000+ open-source models. Covers:
- Serverless Inference API (zero infrastructure)
- Local model loading with
transformerspipelines - Generating embeddings for semantic search
- Text classification & NER for enterprise NLP tasks
- Fine-tuning data preparation
Integrate Grok's frontier models via the OpenAI-compatible API:
- Multi-turn conversation management
- Real-time streaming responses
- Function/tool calling for agentic workflows
- Enterprise chatbot with context persistence
Build retrieval-augmented generation for internal knowledge bases:
- Document ingestion & intelligent chunking
- Dense embedding + vector store indexing
- Hybrid retrieval (semantic + keyword)
- Full end-to-end Q&A pipeline with citations
Production-hardening patterns:
- Model Router: Route requests to the best model by cost/latency/capability
- Cost Optimizer: Token budget enforcement, automatic model downgrade
- Rate Limiter: Per-tenant throttling with Redis or in-memory backends
- Circuit Breaker: Graceful degradation when providers are unavailable
Automate document intake pipelines:
- PDF text extraction and structure parsing
- OCR for scanned documents
- Multi-class document classification
- Metadata extraction and enrichment
Operational visibility for AI systems:
- Token usage and cost tracking per model/tenant
- Latency percentiles and error rates
- Prometheus metrics + Grafana-ready dashboards
- Structured JSON logging for log aggregation
Deploy as a production microservice:
/chat,/embed,/classify,/summarizeendpoints- Async, non-blocking handlers
- Request validation with Pydantic
- Health checks and readiness probes
- Docker-ready
