🚀 CHIMERA Quick Start Guide

Get CHIMERA running in 5 minutes!

⚡ What is CHIMERA?

CHIMERA is a revolutionary AI architecture that runs transformers entirely on OpenGL without requiring:

• ❌ PyTorch
• ❌ CUDA
• ❌ TensorFlow
• ❌ Traditional ML frameworks

✅ Just OpenGL + 10MB of dependencies!

🛠️ System Requirements

Minimum Requirements

• Python: 3.8 or higher
• GPU: Any GPU with OpenGL 3.3+ support
• RAM: 4GB
• Storage: 100MB free space

Supported Hardware

✅ Intel UHD Graphics (integrated graphics) ✅ AMD Radeon (all generations) ✅ NVIDIA GeForce (all generations) ✅ Apple M1/M2 (Metal backend) ✅ Raspberry Pi (OpenGL ES)

📦 Installation

Option 1: Quick Install (Recommended)

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/chimera-ai/chimera.git
cd chimera

# Install dependencies (only 10MB!)
pip install moderngl numpy pillow

# Optional: Install development tools
pip install matplotlib seaborn

# Run the demo
python chimera_v3/demo_pure.py

Option 2: Full Development Install

# Install all dependencies
pip install -r requirements.txt

# Install in development mode
pip install -e .

# Run tests
python -m pytest tests/

Option 3: Docker Installation

# Build Docker image
docker build -t chimera-ai .

# Run container
docker run -p 8080:8080 chimera-ai

# Access at http://localhost:8080

🎯 First Steps

1. Verify Installation

# Check OpenGL support
python -c "import moderngl; ctx = moderngl.create_standalone_context(); print('✅ OpenGL works!')"

# Run basic demo
python chimera_v3/demo_pure.py

Expected output:

🚀 CHIMERA v3.0 - Pure OpenGL Deep Learning Demo
==================================================

DEMO: MATEMATICAS BASICAS
==================================================

1. Operaciones elemento-wise:
   ones + ones*2 = 3.0 (esperado: 3.0)

✅ DEMO COMPLETADO EXITOSAMENTE

2. Run Examples

# Mathematical operations demo
python examples/math_operations.py

# Self-attention visualization
python examples/attention_demo.py

# Performance benchmarks
python examples/benchmark_suite.py

3. Try Interactive Chat (Advanced)

# Requires model conversion (see Advanced section)
python examples/interactive_chat.py

🔧 Troubleshooting

Common Issues

❌ "Failed to create OpenGL context"

# Update GPU drivers
# Windows: Update via Device Manager
# Linux: Install mesa-utils
# macOS: Update to latest macOS

❌ "Out of GPU memory"

# Reduce model size or batch size
model = Model(max_batch_size=1, max_seq_len=512)

❌ "OpenGL extension not supported"

# Enable software rendering (slower but works)
import os
os.environ['MESA_GLSL_VERSION_OVERRIDE'] = '330'

Performance Tips

1. Update GPU drivers to latest version
2. Close other GPU-intensive applications
3. Use dedicated GPU if available (not integrated graphics)
4. Monitor GPU temperature to avoid thermal throttling
