Known Issues

Timeout Occurrence:

- Issue: Ollama API uses 5-second sock_read timeout in api/ollama_url.py - Impact: Large models (30b+) may timeout before completing inference - Detection: Test correctly identifies timeout in assessment metrics - Mitigation: Test prefers smaller models (7b, 8b, 13b) when available

Error Handling:

- Current: Errors are logged and included in THOT assessment - Improvement: Could retry with smaller model or extended timeout

Knowledge for System Improvement

The THOT artifacts provide data for mindX to improve:

1. Model Selection Strategy

Pattern: Large models timeout

Learning: Prefer smaller models for faster inference

Action: Update model selection algorithm

2. Timeout Configuration

Pattern: 5-second timeout insufficient for large models

Learning: Need configurable timeouts based on model size

Action: Implement adaptive timeout strategy

3. Error Recovery

Pattern: Timeouts result in failed inference

Learning: Need fallback to smaller models

Action: Implement automatic model fallback

4. Performance Optimization

Pattern: Inference time correlates with model size

Learning: Balance model capability vs. latency

Action: Create performance-based model selection
