+### Common Issues and Solutions
+
+1. **Issue: Model weights not found**  
+   **Solution:** Ensure you have downloaded the **DeepSeek-V3 model weights** from [Hugging Face](https://huggingface.co/deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V3) and placed them in the correct directory as specified in the [How to Run Locally](#6-how-to-run-locally) instructions.
+
+2. **Issue: Inference script fails with a CUDA error**  
+   **Solution:** Verify the following:  
+   - The correct version of **CUDA** is installed.  
+   - GPU drivers are up to date.  
+   - **PyTorch** is correctly configured to use CUDA.  
+   For more detailed guidance, refer to the official [PyTorch CUDA Troubleshooting Guide](https://pytorch.org/docs/stable/notes/cuda.html).  
+
+3. **Issue: Slow performance during inference**  
+   **Solution:** Ensure optimal performance using these tips:  
+   - Use FP8 or BF16 modes if supported by your hardware (see [How to Run Locally](#6-how-to-run-locally) for setup details).  
+   - Review [PyTorch Performance Tuning](https://pytorch.org/tutorials/recipes/recipes/tuning_guide.html) for further optimization strategies.  
+
+4. **Issue: Out of memory error**  
+   **Solution:**  
+   - Reduce the batch size to fit your GPU memory.  
+   - Utilize a **model parallelism strategy** to distribute memory usage across multiple GPUs.  
+   - For multi-GPU setups, consult the [PyTorch Distributed Training Documentation](https://pytorch.org/tutorials/beginner/dist_overview.html).  
+
+### Before Reporting an Issue
