ChatGPT-4o rewrite of GeminiPro app.py file with change to Flan-T5-small model

List of Improvements:

1. Model Change to Flan-T5 Small:

Updated the model from flan-t5-xl to flan-t5-small to improve performance and reduce memory usage.
Reduced the max_new_tokens slider’s upper limit from 1000 to 512 (since the smaller model will generally work with smaller outputs).
Reduced the default value for max_new_tokens to 128 for reasonable generation with a smaller model.

2. Efficiency Improvements:

The smaller model significantly improves the speed of generation and lowers memory overhead, which is crucial for use cases where lower-latency responses are needed, such as interactive apps.

3. Adjusted max_length Calculation:

Updated the max_length argument in the model.generate() calls, setting a more appropriate limit based on the input token length for the smaller model. This prevents unnecessarily long outputs for smaller inputs.

4. Consistency in Error Handling and Validation:

Maintained the improved error handling and validation from the previous version, ensuring that empty inputs are caught early, and clearer error messages are provided.

5. Preserved UI and Sliders:

The interface and overall structure of the Gradio Blocks app remain the same for usability, but the sliders for max_new_tokens are adjusted to be more suitable for the smaller model.

6. Warm-Up Call:

Kept the model warm-up step to ensure the app's first run is faster.

By switching to the smaller model, the application becomes more responsive and resource-efficient, while retaining the same features and user interface as the original code.
