I’ve explored everything from AI and machine learning to satellite data and creative writing prompts. I enjoy blending tech with storytelling, finding joy in both solving real problems and crafting meaningful experiences.

Also, found some hugging face models(relevant license) after rigorously searching. + +- **Challenge:** Testing hugging face models with no inference points and testing them inside Sugar. +**Solution:** Most Hugging Face models can’t be installed directly in Sugar because they require heavy dependencies like Torch and Transformers, which increase memory usage in a virtual machine. Therefore, I used hugging face spaces and ran the models there, which also provides API endpoints for quick testing inside Sugar. + +--- + +## Key Learnings + +- Gained a solid understanding of the Write activity's code structure and how it integrates the Abiword processor. +- Explored lightweight, open-source grammar correction models and successfully tested them using Hugging Face Spaces via API endpoints. +- Discovered that Abiword’s link-grammar parser might be leveraged for native grammar correction within the activity. + +--- + +## Next Week’s Roadmap + +- Finalise a grammar correction model and fine tune it if needed +- Create a FastAPI endpoint and upload the selected model on AWS for testing +- Integrate grammar correction into write-activity +- Explore better spelling correction models + +--- + +## Acknowledgments + +Thank you to my mentors, the Sugar Labs community, and fellow contributors for your continued guidance and support! + +--- + +## Connect with Me + +- GitHub: [@amannaik247](https://github.com/amannaik247) +- Gmail: [amancodes247@gmail.com](mailto:amancodes247@gmail.com) +- LinkedIn: [Aman Naik](https://www.linkedin.com/in/aman-naik/) + +---
