+GPU-specific Ray worker images for the DaviesTechLabs AI/ML platform.
+
+## Images
+
+| Image | GPU Target | Workloads | Registry |
+|-------|------------|-----------|----------|
+| `ray-worker-nvidia` | NVIDIA CUDA (RTX 2070) | Whisper STT, XTTS TTS | `git.daviestechlabs.io/daviestechlabs/ray-worker-nvidia` |
+| `ray-worker-rdna2` | AMD ROCm (Radeon 680M) | BGE Embeddings | `git.daviestechlabs.io/daviestechlabs/ray-worker-rdna2` |
+| `ray-worker-strixhalo` | AMD ROCm (Strix Halo) | vLLM, BGE | `git.daviestechlabs.io/daviestechlabs/ray-worker-strixhalo` |
+| `ray-worker-intel` | Intel XPU (Arc) | BGE Reranker | `git.daviestechlabs.io/daviestechlabs/ray-worker-intel` |
+
+## Building Locally
+
+```bash
+# Build all images
+make build-all
+
+# Build specific image
+make build-nvidia
+make build-rdna2
+make build-strixhalo
+make build-intel
+
+# Push to Gitea registry (requires login)
+docker login git.daviestechlabs.io
+make push-all
+```
+
+## CI/CD
+
+Images are automatically built and pushed to `git.daviestechlabs.io` package registry on:
+- Push to `main` branch
+- Git tag creation (e.g., `v1.0.0`)
+
+### Gitea Actions Secrets Required
+
+Add these secrets in Gitea repo settings → Actions → Secrets:
+
+| Secret | Description |
+|--------|-------------|
+| `REGISTRY_USER` | Gitea username |
+| `REGISTRY_TOKEN` | Gitea access token with `package:write` scope |
+
