Worked on deployment efficiency and model reliability improvements for the stripe/LibreChat repository, focusing on backend development and containerization. Refactored Dockerfile.multi using Docker and DevOps practices to reduce the LibreChat image size from 1.46 GB to 1.12 GB, which enabled faster deployments and lower resource consumption. Addressed a bug affecting Gemini model prompt handling by ensuring system instructions are sent even when RAG_API_URL is unset, with promptPrefix correctly populated in JavaScript requests. These targeted changes improved stability and maintainability, particularly in edge cases, and contributed to more reliable and cost-effective deployments through careful API integration and backend enhancements.
