git commit -m "feat: add HuggingFace ZeroGPU compatibility for

GPU-accelerated inference

- Add @spaces.GPU decorators to all inference methods (separation: 90s,
extraction: 60s, denoising: 45s)
- Implement GPU resource management with automatic CPU/GPU model
transfers
- Create GPUConfig module for environment detection (ZeroGPU, Spaces,
local)
- Add GPU utilities for safe resource allocation and cleanup
- Ensure GPU cleanup within 2s using try-finally blocks
- Update dependencies: spaces>=0.28.3, gradio>=5.49.1, torch>=2.4.0
- Add HuggingFace Spaces deployment configuration (.space/README.md,
app.py, requirements.txt)
- Maintain backward compatibility with local CPU-only environments

Services modified:
- src/services/speaker_separation.py
- src/services/speaker_extraction.py
- src/services/voice_denoising.py

Tested and verified on local CPU environment. Ready for HuggingFace
Spaces deployment."

+# Voice Profiler
+
+AI-powered voice separation, extraction, and denoising tool.
+
+## Features
+
+- **Speaker Separation**: Automatically separate multiple speakers from mixed audio
+- **Speaker Extraction**: Extract a specific speaker using a reference clip
+- **Voice Denoising**: Remove background noise and silence from audio
+
+## Technology
+
+Powered by:
+- PyAnnote Audio for speaker diarization and embeddings
+- Silero VAD for voice activity detection
+- HuggingFace ZeroGPU for fast GPU-accelerated processing
+
+## Usage
+
+1. Select a workflow from the tabs
+2. Upload your audio file
+3. Configure settings (optional)
+4. Click "Process" and wait for results
+
+## Requirements
+
+- Audio files in M4A, WAV, or MP3 format
+- For speaker extraction, provide a clean reference clip (minimum 3 seconds)
