Build a demo app with a FastAPI backend connected to DeepSee, fortified with IPsec, and a Bootstrap-based HTML/CSS frontend for chat-like Q&A interactions.
Set up a Python virtual environment to create an isolated workspace for your project. Activate the environment and use pip to install modules without affecting global packages.
Set up the Deep-Sea to FastAPI project by creating a virtual environment, organizing folders, configuring the Leipzig API key, installing requirements, and launching the app with uvicorn.
Explain config.py pedantic base settings and type safe environment configuration, loading ipsec api key and deep seek api url from the env file to validate startup.
Describe models.py: build a base pedantic model for automatic validation and serialization, define a chat request with message and model fields, and enforce correct json payloads for the chat endpoint.
Explore a fastapi app using jinja2 templates to handle get and post requests, validate chat input, and forward payloads to a deep six api with an api key.
Explore how index.html extends base.html with jinja2 template engine, uses a content block for a chat interface, and handles form submissions via fast API and JavaScript to preserve message history.
