## Architecture Components

### 🔵 Model Discovery (Light Gray)
- **Static Curated Models**: Handpicked important models for comprehensive evaluation
- **Dynamic Popular Models**: Real-time discovery of trending models via web scraping
- **Quality Control**: Blocklist for problematic or incompatible models
- **Model Validation**: API availability checks and cost filtering (≤$20/1M tokens)
- **Timeout Protection**: 120s timeout for large/reasoning models, 60s for others
- **Metadata Enrichment**: Rich model information from OpenRouter and HuggingFace APIs

### 🟣 Evaluation Pipeline (Medium Gray)
- **7 Active Tasks**: Translation (bidirectional), Classification, MMLU, ARC, TruthfulQA, MGSM
- **Unified English Zero-Shot Prompting**: All tasks use English instructions with target language content
- **Origin Tagging**: Distinguishes between human-translated ('human') and machine-translated ('machine') data
- **Combinatorial Approach**: Systematic evaluation across Model × Language × Task combinations
- **Sample-based**: 10 evaluations per combination for statistical reliability
- **Batch Processing**: 50 tasks per batch with rate limiting and error resilience
- **Dual Deployment**: `main.py` for local/GitHub, `main_gcs.py` for Google Cloud with GCS storage

### 🟠 API Integration (Light Gray)
- **OpenRouter**: Primary model inference API for all language model tasks
- **Rate Limiting**: Intelligent batching and delays to prevent API overload
- **Error Handling**: Graceful handling of timeouts, rate limits, and model unavailability
- **HuggingFace**: Model metadata and open-source model information
- **Google Translate**: Specialized translation API for on-the-fly dataset translation

### 🟢 Data Storage (Cyan)
- **results.json**: Aggregated evaluation scores with origin-specific metrics
- **models.json**: Dynamic model list with metadata and validation status
- **languages.json**: Language information with population data

### 🟡 Frontend Visualization (Light Red)
- **WorldMap**: Interactive country-level language proficiency visualization
- **ModelTable**: Ranked model performance leaderboard with origin-specific columns
- **LanguageTable**: Language coverage and speaker statistics
- **DatasetTable**: Task-specific performance breakdowns with human/machine distinction

### 🔵 Translation & Origin Tracking (Light Green)
- **On-the-fly Translation**: Google Translate API for languages without native benchmarks
- **Origin Tagging**: Automatic classification of data sources (human vs. machine translated)
- **Separate Metrics**: Frontend displays distinct scores for human and machine-translated data

## Data Flow Summary

1. **Model Discovery**: Combine curated + trending models → validate API availability → enrich with metadata
2. **Evaluation Setup**: Generate all valid Model × Language × Task combinations with origin tracking
3. **Task Execution**: Run evaluations using unified English prompting and appropriate datasets
4. **Result Processing**: Aggregate scores by model+language+task+origin and save to JSON files
5. **Backend Serving**: FastAPI serves processed data with origin-specific metrics via REST API
6. **Frontend Display**: React app visualizes data through interactive components with transparency indicators

This architecture enables scalable, automated evaluation of AI language models across diverse languages and tasks while providing real-time insights through an intuitive web interface with methodological transparency.
