-Hugging Face Provider Module for ALwrity
+Hugging Face Provider Module for ALwrity.
 
-This module provides functions for interacting with Hugging Face's Inference Providers API
-using the Responses API (beta) which provides a unified interface for model interactions.
-
-Key Features:
-- Text response generation with retry logic
-- Structured JSON response generation with schema validation
-- Comprehensive error handling and logging
-- Automatic API key management
-- Support for various Hugging Face models via Inference Providers
-
-Best Practices:
-1. Use structured output for complex, multi-field responses
-2. Keep schemas simple and flat to avoid truncation
-3. Set appropriate token limits (8192 for complex outputs)
-4. Use low temperature (0.1-0.3) for consistent structured output
-5. Implement proper error handling in calling functions
-6. Use the Responses API for better compatibility
-
-Usage Examples:
-    # Text response
-    result = huggingface_text_response(prompt, temperature=0.7, max_tokens=2048)
-    
-    # Structured JSON response
-    schema = {
-        "type": "object",
-        "properties": {
-            "tasks": {
-                "type": "array",
-                "items": {"type": "object", "properties": {...}}
-            }
-        }
-    }
-    result = huggingface_structured_json_response(prompt, schema, temperature=0.2, max_tokens=8192)
-
-Dependencies:
-- openai (for Hugging Face Responses API)
-- tenacity (for retry logic)
-- logging (for debugging)
-- json (for fallback parsing)
-
-Author: ALwrity Team
-Version: 1.0
-Last Updated: January 2025
+Provides text and structured JSON generation through Hugging Face Router
+(OpenAI-compatible API), with retry and explicit fallback controls.
