+# ONNX Local Inference - CLI Usage Guide
+
+## Quick Start
+
+Run AI agents with **100% free local inference** using Microsoft's Phi-4 model:
+
+```bash
+# Auto-downloads Phi-4 (~4.9GB one-time download)
+npx agentic-flow --agent coder --task "Create hello world" --provider onnx
+```
+
+## Installation & Setup
+
+### Prerequisites
+- Node.js 18+
+- ~5GB disk space for Phi-4 model
+- Internet connection for first-time download
+
+### Automatic Model Download
+
+The Phi-4-mini ONNX model downloads automatically on first use:
+
+```bash
+npx agentic-flow --agent coder --task "test" --provider onnx
+
+# Output:
+# 🔍 Phi-4-mini ONNX model not found locally
+# 📥 Starting automatic download...
+#    This is a one-time download (~4.9GB total)
+#    Model: microsoft/Phi-4-mini-instruct-onnx (INT4 quantized)
+#    Files: model.onnx (~52MB) + model.onnx.data (~4.86GB)
+#
+# 📦 Downloading model.onnx...
+# ✅ Model downloaded successfully
+#
+# 📦 Downloading model.onnx.data (this is the large 4.86GB file)...
+#    📥 Downloading: 10.0% (463.16/4631.59 MB)
+#    📥 Downloading: 20.0% (926.32/4631.59 MB)
+#    ...
+# ✅ Model downloaded successfully
+```
+
+## CLI Usage
+
+### Basic Commands
+
+```bash
+# Use ONNX provider with --provider flag
+npx agentic-flow --agent <agent> --task "<task>" --provider onnx
+
+# Examples

+
+## Use Cases
+
+### ✅ Perfect For
+
+1. **Offline Development**
+   ```bash
+   # Work without internet (after initial download)
+   export PROVIDER=onnx
+   export ONNX_OPTIMIZED=true
+   npx agentic-flow --agent coder --task "Build feature"
+   ```
+
+2. **Privacy-Sensitive Data**
+   ```bash
+   # Process PII/HIPAA data locally
+   export PROVIDER=onnx
+   export ONNX_OPTIMIZED=true
+   npx agentic-flow --agent coder --task "Process medical records"
+   ```
+
+3. **Cost Optimization**
+   ```bash
+   # Free inference for simple tasks with better quality
+   export PROVIDER=onnx
+   export ONNX_OPTIMIZED=true
+   export ONNX_TEMPERATURE=0.3  # Lower for code tasks
+
+   for task in task1 task2 task3; do
+     npx agentic-flow --agent coder --task "$task"
+   done
+   ```
+
+4. **High-Volume Simple Tasks**
+   ```bash
+   # Thousands of generations daily at $0 cost
+   export PROVIDER=onnx
+   export ONNX_OPTIMIZED=true
+   export ONNX_MAX_CONTEXT_TOKENS=1000  # Faster
+
+   cat tasks.txt | while read task; do
+     npx agentic-flow --agent coder --task "$task"
+   done
+   ```
+
+5. **GPU-Accelerated Development**
+   ```bash
+   # 30x faster with GPU (180 tokens/sec)
+   export PROVIDER=onnx
+   export ONNX_OPTIMIZED=true
+   export ONNX_EXECUTION_PROVIDERS=cuda,cpu  # or dml, coreml
+
+   npx agentic-flow --agent coder --task "Complex feature"
+   ```
+
+### ❌ Not Ideal For
+
+- **Complex Reasoning** - Use Claude or DeepSeek via OpenRouter
+- **Tool Calling** - ONNX doesn't support MCP tools (use Anthropic/OpenRouter)
+- **Long Context** - Limited to 4K tokens (use cloud models for >4K)
+- **Streaming** - Not implemented yet (use OpenRouter/Anthropic)
+
+## Hybrid Deployments
+
+Mix ONNX with OpenRouter/Anthropic based on task complexity:
+
+### Scenario 1: Simple Local, Complex Cloud
+
+```bash
+# Simple tasks - free ONNX
+npx agentic-flow --agent coder --task "Hello world" --provider onnx
+
+# Complex tasks - cheap OpenRouter
+npx agentic-flow --agent coder --task "Design distributed system" \
+  --model "deepseek/deepseek-chat-v3.1"
+```
+
+### Scenario 2: Privacy-First with Fallback
+
+```bash
+# Privacy-sensitive - ONNX
+export USE_ONNX=true
+npx agentic-flow --agent coder --task "Process PII"
+
+# Non-sensitive - OpenRouter (cheaper)
+unset USE_ONNX
+export OPENROUTER_API_KEY=sk-or-v1-...
+npx agentic-flow --agent coder --task "Public API"
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Model Download Failed
+
+```bash
+# Check internet connection
+curl -I https://huggingface.co
+
+# Retry download
+rm -rf ./models/phi-4-mini
+npx agentic-flow --agent coder --task "test" --provider onnx
+```
+
+### Slow Inference (6 tokens/sec)
+
+Enable GPU acceleration - see [GPU Setup Guide](./ONNX_INTEGRATION.md#gpu-acceleration)
+
+### Out of Memory
+
+```bash
+# Reduce max tokens
+export ONNX_MAX_TOKENS=50
+npx agentic-flow --agent coder --task "small task" --provider onnx
+```
+
+### Model Not Found Error
+
+```bash
+# Ensure model downloaded completely
+ls -lh ./models/phi-4-mini/cpu_and_mobile/cpu-int4-rtn-block-32-acc-level-4/
+# Should show:
+# model.onnx (~52MB)
+# model.onnx.data (~4.86GB)
+```
+
+## Cost Comparison
+
+### 1,000 Code Generation Tasks
+
+| Provider | Model | Cost |
+|----------|-------|------|
+| **ONNX Local** | Phi-4-mini | **$0.00** |
+| OpenRouter | Llama 3.1 8B | $0.30 |
+| OpenRouter | DeepSeek V3.1 | $1.40 |
+| Anthropic | Claude 3.5 Sonnet | $81.00 |
+
+**Monthly Savings:** $81/month vs Claude, $1.40/month vs DeepSeek
+
+### Electricity Cost
+
+Assuming 100W CPU, 1hr/day, $0.12/kWh:
+- Daily: $0.012
+- Monthly: $0.36
+- Annual: $4.32
+
+**Still cheaper than 5 OpenRouter requests!**
