Spot-Undoo v2: Open-Weight AI Layover Studio & GPU Map Engine for Kerala

A developer built Spot-Undoo v2, an open-source travel and layover-optimization studio for Kerala, upgrading the mobile app into a desktop workstation with a GPU-accelerated Leaflet map and local open-weight AI inference. The system runs Qwen 2.5:3B and Gemma 4 via Ollama with structured JSON outputs to enforce time, budget and transit constraints, falling back to mathematical routing when offline, and performs on-device image downsampling to 512px JPEGs before vision-model analysis.

This is a submission for the Hacktoberfest Open-Source AI Challenge: Week 3.

🌟 Spot-Undoo v2: Open-Weight AI Travel Studio & Layover Optimizer

Spot-Undoo is an open-source, privacy-preserving micro-travel concierge engine tailored for travelers, transit layover passengers, and explorers across Kerala's 14 districts.

During Week 3, we advanced Spot-Undoo from a mobile-first app into a full-scale Open-Source AI Desktop Studio & GPU-Accelerated Geo-Engine, designed to deliver instant, constraint-guaranteed transit itineraries with zero cloud inference cost.

🚀 What's New in Week 3 Development

🖥️ Widescreen Desktop Studio Layout (1680px) :

  • Complete architectural redesign away from cramped mobile layouts into a split-screen studio workstation.

Docked Inspection Panel : Left-docked details card with high-resolution photography, transit breakdowns, and authentic community reviews. #

Expanded Canvas : Right-hand interactive Leaflet map canvas utilizing full desktop screen real estate. #

Dual-Column Layover Assistant : Dedicated left-side chat cockpit with right-hand live telemetry inspector. 2. ⚡ GPU-Accelerated Leaflet Map (Zero Pan Lag) :

  • Eliminated panning and zoom stutter across large Kerala spot clusters using memoized zoom tiers and batched L.layerGroup .
  • Hardware-accelerated CSS transforms (will-change: transform; transform: translate3d(0,0,0) ) achieving smooth 60fps rendering.
**🧠 Open-Weight Local AI Inference (Ollama & Qwen)** :
   - Powered by local open-weight models (**Qwen 2.5:3B / Gemma 4** ) with structured JSON outputs.
  • Guaranteed constraint matching (max available time, strict budget limits, transit travel time).
  • Instant mathematical fallback routing if running completely offline.

📸 On-Device Multimodal Verification :

  • HTML5 Canvas client-side downsampling to 512px JPEG before sending to vision models, keeping memory footprint low.
  • Instant visual spot analysis with vibe tagging and authentic local tips.

🛠️ Open-Source Tech Stack

Frontend : React 18, Vite, Tailwind CSS 3, Lucide Icons, Leaflet OpenStreetMap. #

AI Models : Local open-weight models via Ollama (qwen2.5:3b ,gemma4 ), Groq Cloud API, Google Gemini Flash. #

Maps & Data : OpenStreetMap, Leaflet GPU acceleration, LocalStorage zero-database architecture. #

Mobile & Android : Capacitor native Android bridge (SpotUndoo-v1.0.apk ).
