+model = AutoModelForVision2Seq.from_pretrained(
+    "sugiv/cardvaultplus",
+    torch_dtype=torch.float32
+)
+```
+
+### Batch Processing
+```python
+# Process multiple images
+images = [Image.open(f"card_{i}.jpg") for i in range(batch_size)]
+prompts = ["<image>Extract structured information..."] * len(images)
+inputs = processor(text=prompts, images=images, return_tensors="pt", padding=True)

+- **Financial Services**: Credit card data extraction
+- **Identity Verification**: Driver license processing
+- **Document Digitization**: Automated form processing
+- **Mobile Applications**: On-device card scanning
+- **Banking**: Account setup automation
+- **Insurance**: Claims document processing
 
-- **Mobile Export**: Supports ONNX/TFLite export for mobile deployment
-- **API Integration**: Production wrapper provides REST API compatibility
-- **Batch Processing**: Optimized for both single and batch inference
+## Limitations
+
+- Optimized for English text cards/documents
+- Best performance on clear, well-lit images
+- JSON output format may vary based on document complexity
+- Requires GPU for optimal inference speed
+
+## Model Card and Ethics
+
+- **Intended Use**: Legitimate document processing for authorized users
+- **Data Privacy**: No personal data stored during inference
+- **Security**: Uses SafeTensors format for safe model loading
+- **Bias**: Trained on synthetic data to minimize real personal information exposure
