docs: Document Model-As-OCI-Artifacts feature #1359

Copilot · 2025-08-05T21:08:32Z

This PR implements comprehensive documentation for the Model-As-OCI-Artifacts feature as requested in issue #1355. The documentation explains how KAITO uses OCI artifacts to efficiently distribute large language model weights, providing users with a complete understanding of the feature's architecture, benefits, and usage.

Key Documentation Features

User-Focused Feature Guide

Explains KAITO's split architecture approach using base images and OCI artifacts
Details the design rationale behind separating model weights from inference runtime
Provides clear guidance on when to use OCI artifacts for optimal performance
Includes practical getting started instructions and troubleshooting tips

Technical Architecture

Interactive mermaid sequence diagram showing the model weight download process
Detailed explanation of how initContainers use ORAS to fetch model artifacts
Performance comparison data demonstrating build time and deployment improvements
Compatibility matrix for container runtimes and OCI registries

Complete Integration

Multi-version deployment across v0.5.0, v0.5.1, and latest
Mermaid diagram support with @docusaurus/theme-mermaid package
Updated terminology using "model weights" throughout documentation
CI configuration adjusted to handle documentation dependencies

The documentation transforms technical proposal content into user-facing guidance that explains what KAITO does, why this design was chosen, and how users can leverage the feature for improved large language model deployments.

Fixes #1355.

@copilot fix the CI PR Title Checker / check (pull_request)

@copilot fix the CI PR Title Checker / check (pull_request)

The CI failure is due to the PR title not having a required prefix. According to .github/pr-title-config.json, the title must start with one of the allowed prefixes like docs:, feat:, fix:, etc.

The current title "Document Model-As-OCI-Artifacts feature in website" should be changed to "docs: Document Model-As-OCI-Artifacts feature in website" to pass the PR title checker.

I don't have the ability to modify the PR title directly - could you please update it to include the docs: prefix?
