Core Concepts

Understanding the fundamental concepts behind RedHarmony.

AI Provider Architecture

RedHarmony features a provider-agnostic architecture that supports multiple LLM providers:

Available Providers

  1. OpenAI (Default)

    • Uses GPT-4 for advanced language understanding
    • Industry-leading model quality
    • Extensive feature support
  2. DeepSeek (Alternative)

    • Cost-effective alternative
    • OpenAI-compatible API
    • Similar performance characteristics

Provider Switching

Switch between providers with a simple environment variable:

USE_DEEPSEEK="True"  # For DeepSeek
USE_DEEPSEEK="False" # For OpenAI (default)

No code changes required - all features work identically across providers.
