For the OCR you should look at Fast Plate OCR, it is more accurate then PaddleOCR. This what Blue Iris is using for the OCR

I updated to v6.0.7.2 and lost all my camera groups. Does anyone know how to get back the groups. I did downgrade to v6.0.7.1 and the camera groups are still missing
No, I haven not work on this since the AI integrated in Blue Iris works extremely well. Most likely I will work on the models sometime in the next couple of months.
There might be a Blue Iris issue with using CodeProject.AI since they have built-in AI, what I can see it should work for you. Have you tried using the built-in AI, it works well, that is what I am currently using.
I found some of the new drivers did not work well, that might be your issue, I am using the below driver
