| Wouldn't "Serverless OCR" mean something like running tesseract locally on your computer, rather than creating an AI framework and running it on a server? |

| No, that would be "Running OCR locally..." 'Serverless' has become a term of art: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serverless_computing |

| Serverless means spinning compute resources up on demand in the cloud vs. running a server permanently. |

| Thanks for noting this - for a moment I was excited. |

Recently, GLM-OCR was released, which is a relatively small OCR model (2.5 GB unquantized) that can run on CPU with good quality. I've been using it to digitize various hand-written notes and all my shopping receipts this week. https://github.com/zai-org/GLM-OCR (Shameless plug: I also maintain a simplified version of GLM-OCR without dependency on the transformers library, which makes it much easier to install: https://github.com/99991/Simple-GLM-OCR/) | |
| ▲ | mrweasel 4 hours ago | parent | prev [-] | | 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 agree long ago that serverless just means that you're not spinning up a physical or virtual server, but simply ask some cloud infrastructure to run your code, without having to care about how it's run. | | |

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. |

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