# StormScope Fast Demo

This Space is a lightweight public demo for `rustwx-stormscope`.

It shows a StormScope 10-minute nowcast cycle as transparent overlays on an
OpenStreetMap basemap, using the same web-map product shape generated by the
release package. It also includes a ZeroGPU runtime probe and a guarded live
nowcast runner.

The bundled demo cycle is pre-rendered. Full live StormScope inference is not
enabled by default on ZeroGPU because the production fast path depends on a
validated CUDA/PyTorch/NATTEN/torchao stack, model weights, and live satellite
data fetches. The runtime probe shows what Hugging Face assigns at launch time;
the observed deployment reported a Blackwell `sm_120` MIG GPU, but that is still
not the same as the local RTX 5090 stack used for the optimized release path.

When `STORMSCOPE_ENABLE_LIVE=1` and the full package/dependency stack is
installed in the Space image, the live runner calls `python -m
rustwx_stormscope.run` and then `python -m rustwx_stormscope.webmap_preview` to
replace the map with freshly generated overlays. Public deployments should leave
live mode off until that dependency path has been validated.
