I have used base ngx for about a year, and recently start to get interested in a better OCR, plus potentially chat/tagging bot with Paperless-GPT. Then I realized that v3.0 is about to be released, should I just wait for that?

Another question for people tried v3.0 beta: I don't have powerful hardware to run reasoning models, but enough for a lightweight OCR model, (like qwen3.5-0.8b or minicpm). So can I use ocr-model locally, but use cloud AI providers (like GPT5 api) for tag/chat bot?
