 """
 Unified web chat server - serves both UI and API from a single FastAPI instance.
-Run with: python web_chat.py
-Then open http://localhost:8000 in your browser.
+
+Uses data parallelism to distribute requests across multiple GPUs. Each GPU loads
+a full copy of the model, and incoming requests are distributed to available workers.
+
+Launch examples:
+
+- single available GPU (default)
+python -m scripts.chat_web
+
+- 4 GPUs
+python -m scripts.chat_web --num-gpus 4
+
+To chat, open the URL printed in the console. (If on cloud box, make sure to use public IP)
+
+Endpoints:
+  GET  /           - Chat UI
+  POST /chat/completions - Chat API (streaming only)
+  GET  /health     - Health check with worker pool status
+  GET  /stats      - Worker pool statistics and GPU utilization
