clone https://github.com/reach-Harishapc/thinking-engine.git\ncd thinking-engine\npip install -r requirements.txt\n```\n\n### Basic Usage\n```python\nfrom run_model import ThinkingModelInterface\n\n# Initialize AI\nmodel = ThinkingModelInterface()\n\n# Interactive chat\nresponse = model.think(\"What is 2+5?\")\nprint(response)\n# Output: The addition of 2 + 5 equals 7...\n\n# Load compressed model\nmodel.load_model(\"models/production.think.gz\")\n```\n\n### PDF Processing for Training\n```bash\n# Install PDF processing dependencies\npip install PyPDF2\n\n# Test PDF processing capabilities\npython test_pdf_processing.py\n\n# Train model with PDF documents\npython run_model.py --train /path/to/pdf/folder --save\n\n# The system automatically:\n# - Extracts text from PDF files\n# - Chunks content for optimal training\n# - Encodes to sparse synaptic representations\n# - Updates learning weights\n```\n\n### Multi-Platform Testing\n```bash\n# Run basic functionality tests\npython run_multiplatform_tests.py\n\n# Test platform detection\npython run_multiplatform_tests.py  # Select option 2\n\n# Run comprehensive benchmarking (may take several minutes)\npython run_multiplatform_tests.py  # Select option 3\n\n# Direct test framework usage\npython -m tests.test_multiplatform\n```\n\n### API Server\n```bash\npython deploy_api.py\n# Server starts on
