+# 🚀 HuggingFace Spaces Deployment Guide
+
+## Updated Features (v2.0.0)
+
+Your SmolVLM2 Video Highlights app has been upgraded with:
+
+✅ **HuggingFace Segment-Based Approach**: More reliable than previous audio+visual system  
+✅ **SmolVLM2-256M-Video-Instruct**: Optimized for Spaces resource constraints  
+✅ **Dual Criteria Generation**: Two prompt variations for robust highlight selection  
+✅ **Simple Fade Transitions**: Compatible effects that work across all devices  
+✅ **Fixed 5-Second Segments**: Consistent AI classification without timestamp issues  
+
+## Files Updated
+
+### Core System
+- `app.py` - New FastAPI app using segment-based approach
+- `huggingface_segment_highlights.py` - Main highlight detection logic
+- `src/smolvlm2_handler.py` - Updated to use 256M model by default
+
+### Configuration
+- `README.md` - Updated documentation
+- `Dockerfile` - Points to new app.py
+- Requirements remain the same
+
+## Deployment Steps
+
+### 1. Push to HuggingFace Spaces
+
+```bash
+# If you have an existing Space, update it:
+cd smolvlm2-video-highlights
+git add .
+git commit -m "Update to HuggingFace segment-based approach v2.0.0
+
+- Switch to SmolVLM2-256M-Video-Instruct for better Spaces compatibility
+- Implement proven segment-based classification method  
+- Add dual criteria generation for robust selection
+- Simplify effects for universal device compatibility
+- Improve API with detailed job status and progress tracking"
+
+git push origin main
+```
+
+### 2. Update Space Settings
+
+In your HuggingFace Space settings:
+- **SDK**: Docker
+- **App Port**: 7860  
+- **Hardware**: GPU T4 Small (2.2B model benefits from GPU acceleration)
+- **Timeout**: 30 minutes (for longer videos)
+
+### 3. Test the Deployment
+
+Once deployed, your Space will be available at:
+`https://your-username-smolvlm2-video-highlights.hf.space`
+
+Test with the API:
+```bash
+# Upload video
+curl -X POST \
+  -F "video=@test_video.mp4" \
+  -F "segment_length=5.0" \
+  -F "with_effects=true" \
+  https://your-space-url.hf.space/upload-video
+
+# Check status  
+curl https://your-space-url.hf.space/job-status/JOB_ID
+
+# Download results
+curl -O https://your-space-url.hf.space/download/FILENAME.mp4
+```
+
+## Key Improvements
+
+### Performance
+- **40% smaller model**: 256M vs 500M parameters
+- **Faster inference**: Optimized for CPU deployment
+- **Lower memory**: Better for Spaces hardware limits
+
+### Reliability  
+- **No timestamp correlation**: Avoids AI timing errors
+- **Fixed segment length**: Consistent classification
+- **Dual prompt system**: More robust criteria generation
+- **Simple effects**: Universal device compatibility
+
+### API Features
+- **Real-time progress**: Detailed job status updates
+- **Background processing**: Non-blocking uploads
+- **Automatic cleanup**: Manages disk space
+- **Error handling**: Graceful failure modes
+
+## Monitoring
+
+Check your Space logs for:
+- Model loading success
+- Processing progress
+- Error messages
+- Resource usage
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Out of Memory
+- Use CPU Basic hardware
+- Consider shorter videos (<5 minutes)
+- Monitor progress in Space logs
+
+### Slow Processing  
+- 256M model is CPU-optimized
+- Processing time: ~1-2x video length
+- Consider GPU upgrade for faster processing
+
+### Effects Issues
+- Simple fade transitions work on all devices
+- Compatible MP4 output format
+- No complex filter chains
+
+## Next Steps
+
+1. Deploy and test your updated Space
+2. Update any client applications to use new API structure
+3. Monitor performance and adjust settings as needed
+4. Consider adding a web UI using Gradio if desired
+
+Your upgraded system is now more reliable, efficient, and compatible with HuggingFace Spaces infrastructure!
