Not sure what “your own” in the title is supposed to mean if you are running a model that you didn’t train using a framework that you didn’t write on a server that you don’t own.

I originally tried to do this on my own server but my GPU is too old :(

#35Earlier quoted context omitted.
Thanks for noting this - for a moment I was excited.
When people mentions the number of lines of code, I've started to become suspicious. More often than not it's X number of lines, calling a massive library loading a large model, either locally or remote. We're just waiting for spinning up your entire company infrastructure in two lines of code, and then just being presented a Terraform shell script wrapper. I do agree with the use of serverless though. I feel like we…

#36Wouldn't "Serverless OCR" mean something like running tesseract locally on your computer, rather than creating an AI framework and running it on a server?
Serverless means spinning compute resources up on demand in the cloud vs. running a server permanently.
Not quite. Serverless means you can run a server permanently, but you need pay someone else to manage the infrastructure for you.

Low LoC count is a telltale sign that the project adds little to no value. It's a claim that the project integrates third party services and/or modules, and does a little plumbing to tie things together.

#38So I'm trying to OCR 1000s of pages of old french dictionaries from the 1700s, has anything popped up that doesn't cost an arm and a leg, and works pretty decently?

Running it locally would typically be called “client(-)side”. But this caught me for a bit as well. :-)
I use carless transportation (taxis).
