I figured out how to get this running on the NVIDIA Spark (ARM64, which makes PyTorch a little bit trickier than usual) by running Claude Code as root in a new Docker container and having it figure it out. Notes here: https://simonwillison.net/2025/Oct/20/deepseek-ocr-claude-co...

Here's a result I got https://github.com/simonw/research/blob/main/deepseek-ocr-nv... - against this image: https://static.simonwillison.net/static/2025/ft.jpeg

How do you get the "as root" part of that to work?

(sorry if it's explained in your article)

Run it on a root account and do:

  IS_SANDBOX=1 claude --dangerously-skip-permissions
