Just came across OvisOCR2, a new 0.8B end-to-end OCR model based on Qwen3.5-0.8B. https://preview.redd.it/adj3m8wu9zch1.png?width=5108&format=png&auto=webp&s=c4f14a0f7bfd6e1417fa8f476479db76498af51b It converts full document pages directly into structured Markdown, including text, tables, formulas, and reading order. The model card reports 96.58 on OmniDocBench v1.6 and 75.06 on PureDocBench. Weights are available under Apache 2.0, with vLLM support. The results look impressive for the size, though independent real-world testing is still needed. Has anyone compared it with GLM-OCR, PaddleOCR-VL, MinerU, or Chandra?
