## Quick Start

**Requirements:** Linux, NVIDIA driver 595+, Turing or newer GPU (RTX 20-series / GTX 16-series+). Plan for ~4 GB VRAM text-only and ~8 GB for the full pipeline (layout + tables + formulas); each extra `PIPELINE_POOL_SIZE` replica adds roughly another full set, so lower it on smaller cards.

```bash
docker run --gpus all -p 8000:8000 -p 50051:50051 \
  -v trt-cache:/home/ocr/.cache/turbo-ocr \
  ghcr.io/aiptimizer/turboocr:latest
```

First startup builds TensorRT engines from ONNX. This takes about 90 seconds on a
5090 GPU and up to an hour on older ones. Set `TRT_OPT_LEVEL=3` to cut build time
3 to 5x with a small speed regression. The named volume caches the engines, so
subsequent starts are instant. During the build, requests return a connection
refused error from nginx until the backend is ready. nginx (port 8000)
reverse-proxies to Drogon (port 8080), and both start automatically.

```bash
curl -X POST http://localhost:8000/ocr/raw \
  --data-binary @document.png -H "Content-Type: image/png"
```

```json

```
