Bundling NDLOCR-Lite's DEIMv2 + PARSeq with ONNX Runtime Mobile in an iOS app to run camera capture → perspective correction → layout detection → text recognition → confidence-based correction entirely on device.
WAN 2.2 image-to-video on Windows + RTX 4060 8GB VRAM in ComfyUI. The 5B fp8 model failed three times; the 14B Rapid distilled model with --lowvram offloading produced a 2-second clip in 111 seconds — vs 82 minutes on M1 Max 64GB. Working setup and what to avoid.
Using tori29umai’s LoRA to automatically split facial parts, results from batching 28 images, and a log of running into the limits when attempting finer hair separation
Local video generation test on M1 Max 64GB MacBook Pro. FP8 models don't work on Metal — switching to GGUF got Wan 2.2 running at 82 minutes for a 2-second clip. LTX-2 produced NaN or unusable KSampler output under MPS. Specs, failed configs, and the working setup.
Hands-on test of huihui-ai Qwen 3.5 abliterated models in Ollama: garbage-token failures, GLM-4.7-Flash chat-template breakage, and why the official model with thinking disabled worked better.
After a macOS update, tmux sessions started by cron lost access to the Keychain, causing Claude CLI batch jobs to silently fail. Diagnosing the issue, the fix, and why this is a structural macOS Keychain problem rather than a Claude CLI bug.
Experiment log: from LUKE/BERT fill-mask fine-tuning, to perplexity-based error detection, to Qwen2.5 7B correction judgment with human escalation on mismatch. A complete pipeline running on a single RTX 4060 Laptop with 8GB VRAM.
From Docker hell to Lite + LLM correction. A retrospective on my own experimentation, plus an introduction to someone else's browser-based NDLOCR-Lite implementation.
Set up the CLI version of NDLOCR-Lite on Apple Silicon Mac, then tested OCR result correction with Qwen 3.5 and Swallow. Includes experiments with direct image reading and the anchoring effect.
Tried the lightweight OCR tool NDLOCR-Lite released by the National Diet Library — installed it on Windows 11 and tested both the CLI and GUI versions.
