- Unified sampling controls (--temperature, --top-p, etc.)
- Model-aware prompts with bilingual feedback
New Features
- PaddleOCR-VL backend selection
- Lazy loading functionality
- Standardized sampling parameters
- Model-aware prompt builders
Full Release Notes
## New Features - `PaddleOCR‑VL` backend (SigLIP + Ernie 0.9B with FlashAttention) is now selectable alongside `DeepSeek‑OCR`. Documentation covers model switching and architecture/memory differences. - Model-aware prompts with bilingual Markdown feedback when requests omit <image> placeholders. - Lazy loading: the server defers weight mmap until the first request, reducing startup time. - Server/CLI sampling controls: `--do-sample`, `--temperature`, `--top-p`, `--top-k`, `--repetition-penalty`, and `--no-repeat-ngram-size` are now recognized across both entry points. ## Improvements - Common utilities (token sampling, embedding gathers, transformer KV cache) moved into deepseek-ocr-core, trimming duplication between DeepSeek and Paddle crates. - Documentation clarifies multi-model selection, DeepSeek-only dynamic crop mode, bilingual terminology, and per-flag behavior. - CLI/Server prompt builders choose the correct format per model, improving output quality without manual tweaks. ## Bug Fixes - ModelScope provider now respects arbitrary repo IDs and exact file paths, fixing Paddle asset downloads that previously fetched the wrong config.json. - Requests without images no longer throw transport errors; both sync and streaming responses return a structured bilingual warning instead. - Prompt/image mismatches surface as normal assistant replies instead of opaque “prompt formatting failed” errors, keeping clients compatible with standard OpenAI flows.
