⚠️ Important Notes

Model Size:

• DeepSeek-OCR is a large model
• Requires significant GPU/CPU resources
• First load may take 1-2 minutes on HF Spaces

Hardware Recommendations:

• Free Tier: Works but slower
• CPU Upgrade: Better performance
• T4 GPU: Best performance for OCR

Fallback:

• If OCR model fails to load, app still works
• Document Validator mode functions without OCR
• Error messages guide users
