MiniCPM-OCR-1.0, Xiaomi-OCR-0, and Unlimited-OCR-2: three domestic…
The author conducted a side-by-side comparison of the three latest OCR models released by OpenBMB, Xiaomi, and Baidu. MiniCPM-OCR-1.0 (1.3B) has the highest throughput at 1.217 pages/s, with a score of 96.51 on OmniDoc v1.6; Xiaomi-OCR-0 (0.8B) has the fewest parameters, scoring 95.24 on Real5 and averaging 83.2 across the five OCR-VQA leaderboards; Unlimited-OCR-2 (3B/A0.5B) focuses on reading ultra-long documents in a single pass, scoring 77.06 on its self-built MarathonDocBench, but its throughput is only 0.246 pages/s. The author provides model selection recommendations for three types of scenarios: single-page understanding, batch pipelines, and cross-page long documents.
