@rionaifantasy: Unbelievable! How Can a 34.5M Parameter OCR Beat a 235B Large Model? Let me tell you something ridiculous: I used to believe the future of OCR would inevitably be devoured by ever-larger multimodal large models. But after seeing PP-OCRv6 released by Baidu Wenxin, I've changed my mind. Because it doesn't follow the path of "continuing to pile on parameters..."
