The system implements smart document type detection using Gemini 2.5 Flash Lite:
def _detect_document_type(self, uploaded_file):
# First check hardcoded mappings for known documents
if display_name in settings.DOCUMENT_TYPES:
return settings.DOCUMENT_TYPES[display_name]
# Use Gemini 2.5 Flash Lite for unknown documents
model_instance = genai.GenerativeModel(model_name="gemini-2.5-flash-lite")

contents=[
"Analyze this document and classify it into the most specific category...",
uploaded_file,
],
generation_config={
"temperature": 0.1,
"max_output_tokens": 20, # Fast classification
}
)
return response.textDocument Categories:

4-tier intelligent caching for optimal performance:
# Tier 1: Exact URL match in cache
cache_key = generate_cache_key(url)
if cache_exists(cache_key):
return cached_result
# Tier 2: Extension-based matching
base_url = remove_extension(url)

if remove_extension(cached_url) == base_url:
return cached_result
# Tier 3: Filename-based matching
filename = extract_filename(url)
for cached_filename in cached_filenames:
if cached_filename == filename:
return cached_result
# Tier 4: Fresh processing
return process_fresh_document(url)Optimized batch processing with intelligent load balancing:
- Question Prioritization: Complex questions processed first
- Dynamic Batching: Batch size adapts to question count (β€8: single batch, β€16: size 9, >16: size 9 with 4 workers)
- ThreadPoolExecutor: Parallel processing with timeout management
- Answer Reordering: Maintains original question order in results
# Question complexity estimation
