# NatureLM-audio Demo

This is a demo of the NatureLM-audio model. Users can upload an audio file containing animal vocalizations and ask questions about them in a chat interface.

## Usage

- **First Use**: The model will load automatically when you first use it (this may take a few minutes)
- **Subsequent Uses**: The model stays loaded for faster responses
- **Demo Mode**: If the model fails to load, the app will run in demo mode

## Model Loading

The app uses lazy loading to start quickly. The model is only loaded when you first interact with it, not during app initialization. This prevents timeout issues on HuggingFace Spaces.
