🎉 First Release: Second Me v1.0.0

We’re excited to announce our first official release — the comeback version!

🚀 Deployment

• Cross-platform support:
  Deploy across Mac, Linux, and Docker!

• Docker support:
  Easily deploy using Docker for a streamlined setup experience.

• Non-Docker deployment:
  Mac and Linux are now supported.
  We recommend using uv or similar environment isolation tools to avoid package conflicts.

🧠 New Feature – Thinking Mode (Beta)

• We've introduced Thinking Mode, now available in the Playground environment!
• This mode enhances the chain of thought for better reasoning — but heads-up, responses will be slightly slower.

Requirements:

• Recommended for models 3B parameters and above.
• Currently requires a DeepSeek API (DeepSeek is the only supported provider for now).

⚡ CUDA Support Is Here (Huge Thanks to the Community!)

CUDA training is now supported!

• Works on A100 and consumer-grade GPUs of the same generation.
• Training runs on CUDA, while inference still uses llama.cpp (CPU).
• So far, testing has been primarily on Linux + GPU environments.

💡 This major contribution was made possible by @zpitroda — huge thanks for pushing this forward! 🙏
