The recipe for a fast, performant OCR model: 1. tell Said that OCR is solved 2. let him rage about the state of OCR 3. get a few smart people in a GMeet with him 4. tell them there are GPUs available 5. wait a bit 6. enjoy🦉 Soon deployed in your favorite Enterprise environments

what happened this week with OCR and VLMs? * deepseek-ocr * chandra-ocr * nanonets-ocr2 * paddleocr-vl * qwen3-vl (2B, 32B, Instruct and Thinking) * dots.ocr * olmOCR 2 (based on Qwen2.5-VL) * LightOnOCR (smallies) top 5 trending models on Hugging Face are still OCR/VLM!

Wow OCR models are taking off in vLLM 😍 Small but powerful 💪 Enjoy this fast OCR model from staghado ✌️
