| CHINA HAS ENDED THE OCR BUSINESS
A 3 billion parameter model the size of a peanut can read a full 100-page PDF in one go.
Without splitting pages. Without loss of context. Without a cloud bill.
Meet Unlimited-OCR
• Reads full documents with a 32K context window • 93% on standard OCR analysis benchmarks (+6 over the baseline) • Error rate stays below 0.11 even after 40+ pages • Multilingual out of the box • Runs 100% locally on your hardware • Supports Transformers, vLLM, SGLang, Docker, Ollama and llama.cpp
Here’s the crazy part:
Most OCR tools still process documents page by page.
Unlimited-OCR reads the entire document as a single context, preserving tables, references, layouts, and relationships between pages.
That changes everything.
Meanwhile, companies are paying:
• 1.50–15 per 1,000 pages • Sending sensitive PDFs to cloud providers • Waiting for API responses
This model does it offline. Free. Forever.
Built by Baidu to go beyond DeepSeek-OCR.
It already has over 1.9 million downloads on Hugging Face…
…and almost nobody is talking about it yet.
Open source moves faster than most enterprise software.
