This started out as a weekend hack with gpt-4-mini, using the very basic strategy of "just ask the ai to ocr the document". But this turned out to be better performing than our current implementation of Unstructured/Textract. At pretty much the same cost. I've tested almost every variant of document OCR over the past year, especially trying things like table / chart extraction. I've found the rules based extraction has always been lacking. Documents are meant to be a visual representation after all. With weird layouts, tables, charts, etc. Using a vision model just make sense! In…

I built OCR Arena as a free playground for the community to compare leading foundation VLMs and open-source OCR models side-by-side. Upload any doc, measure accuracy, and (optionally) vote for the models on a public leaderboard. It currently has Gemini 3, dots.ocr, DeepSeek, GPT5, olmOCR 2, Qwen, and a few others. If there's any others you'd like included, let me know!

Last week was big for open source LLMs. We got: - Qwen 2.5 VL (72b and 32b) - Gemma-3 (27b) - DeepSeek-v3-0324 And a couple weeks ago we got the new mistral-ocr model. We updated our OCR benchmark to include the new models. We evaluated 1,000 documents for JSON extraction accuracy. Major takeaways: - Qwen 2.5 VL (72b and 32b) are by far the most impressive. Both landed right around 75% accuracy (equivalent to GPT-4o’s performance). Qwen 72b was only 0.4% above 32b. Within the margin of error. - Both Qwen models passed mistral-ocr (72.2%), which is specifically trained for OCR. - Gemma-3…

OCR/Document extraction field has seen lot of action recently with releases like Mixtral OCR, Andrew Ng's agentic document processing etc. Also there are several benchmarks for OCR, however all testing for something slightly different which make good comparison of models very hard. To give an example, some models like mixtral-ocr only try to convert a document to markdown format. You have to use another LLM on top of it to get the final result. Some VLM’s directly give structured information like key fields from documents like invoices, but you have to either add business rules on top…

I've been disappointed by the very poor quality of results that I generally get when trying to run OCR on older scanned documents, especially ones that are typewritten or otherwise have unusual or irregular typography. I recently had the idea of using Llama2 to use common sense reasoning and subject level expertise to correct transcription errors in a "smart" way-- basically doing what a human proofreader who is familiar with the topic might do. I came up with the linked script that takes a PDF as input, runs Tesseract on it to get an initial text extraction, and then feeds this…

Most of the document parsers fail on real world challenges like complex tables, handwritten documents, historical document scans, equations, multi-column layouts, complex reading order, etc. We built Unsiloed Parser to handle exactly these cases. Our latest parser v3.1 achieved #1 rank and scored 88.0 strict pass-rate on olmOCR-Bench. We ran the evaluation across 1,403 PDFs and 8,413 unit tests using the unmodified upstream Allen AI scorer (olmocr==0.4.27) and found Unsiloed beats 18 other OCR services, including GPT-5.5, Claude Opus 4.7, LlamaParse, Reducto, Azure Document Intelligence, AWS…
