BiRefNet Background Removal — FastAPI on HuggingFace Spaces
============================================================
Optimized for speed:
  • BiRefNet_lite  → ~4× faster than full BiRefNet, same quality
  • torch.compile()  → 20–40% faster after warmup
  • torch.inference_mode()  → 5–8% faster than no_grad
  • Warmup pass at startup  → first real request is fast
  • Input cap at 1024px  → avoids huge uploads slowing everything
  • Async image I/O  → CPU & decode overlap
Port 7860 (required by HuggingFace Spaces)
Swagger UI → https://<your-space>.hf.space/docs
