 # Why
 
 I found that Marker's Docker image is difficult to find.

+# Model
+
+The models of this project will be synced to HuggingFace under the collection [xiaoyao9184/surya-and-marker](https://huggingface.co/collections/xiaoyao9184/surya-and-marker-68635abc74f33ef5d5be792d).
+
+The Docker image does not include model files.
+When running, the required models will be automatically downloaded.
+
+If you need to run offline, you must pre-download the model files and enable offline mode.
+See [cache/README.md](./cache/README.md) for detailed instructions.
+
+# Service
+
+By default, the Docker container runs the Streamlit App, which comes from the original project.
+
+However, this project also provides a Gradio App, a functional reimplementation of the Streamlit version.
+The Gradio App supports both a UI and API interface, and can even serve as an MCP server,
+so it is recommended as the preferred option.
+
+The source code for the Gradio App is located in the [gradio](./gradio) directory of this project.
+A demo of this project is also available and auto-synced on Hugging Face Spaces: [xiaoyao9184/marker](https://huggingface.co/spaces/xiaoyao9184/marker)
+
+To run the Gradio App, you can do so by modifying the Docker command. see the `up.gradio` sub-directory in the [docker](./docker) directory for details.
