Xiaomi-OCR-0 Technical Report

We introduce OvisOCR2, a 0.8B document parsing model. OvisOCR2 is designed as an end-to-end parser: given a document page image, it generates a Markdown representation in natural reading order, covering text, formulas, tables, and visual regions. We build a data engine that combines filtered real-document annotations with synthetic pages whose rendered images and Markdown targets are derived from the same HTML source. The training recipe includes supervised fine-tuning, reinforcement learning on a 4B branch with a multi-component reward design, on-policy distillation into the 0.8B model, and model fusion. On OmniDocBench v1.6, OvisOCR2 achieves a state-of-the-art overall score of 96.58, placing an end-to-end model at the top of this leaderboard previously dominated by pipeline methods and highlighting the potential of end-to-end document parsing. On PureDocBench, OvisOCR2 also achieves the highest Avg3 score of 75.06. Beyond these two public benchmarks, we evaluate OvisOCR2 on an in-house benchmark designed to cover a broader set of long-tail and challenging scenarios. OvisOCR2 obtains the best overall performance among the compared methods, providing further evidence of its generalization and robustness. OvisOCR2 is available at https://huggingface.co/ATH-MaaS/OvisOCR2.

We introduce PaddleOCR-VL-1.6, an upgraded compact document parsing model built upon PaddleOCR-VL-1.5. Although PaddleOCR-VL-1.5 establishes a strong 0.9B baseline, its remaining errors concentrate in under-optimized regions where model behavior is unstable, data coverage is sparse, or supervision is unreliable. Rather than expanding the training corpus indiscriminately, PaddleOCR-VL-1.6 introduces a region-aware data optimization framework that identifies weak regions from the previous model, applies targeted enhancement to these regions, and improves the reliability of supervision signals. It further adopts a progressive post-training recipe based on curated data selection and reinforcement learning, pushing model performance to a higher level through staged optimization. PaddleOCR-VL-1.6 achieves a new state-of-the-art score of 96.33% on OmniDocBench v1.6, demonstrates strong competitiveness against top-tier VLMs, and provides a practical post-training recipe for the PaddleOCR-VL series.

Mainstream visual encoders are pretrained on natural images and cannot be effectively applied to document images without document-oriented adaptation, as dense text and fine-grained character strokes demand character-level visual perception. We present MonkeyOCRv2, a visual-text pretrained model for document AI. First, we construct MonkeyDoc v2, to our knowledge the largest document-image pretraining corpus, comprising 113 million images spanning 17 languages. Second, we propose a pretraining strategy that jointly learns image-to-text generation and pixel-level document reconstruction: the former aligns visual representations with textual content, while the latter preserves character strokes and layout details. Extensive experiments are conducted on five representative document analysis tasks, including text recognition, formula recognition, text detection, document tampering detection, and overlapping text segmentation. Replacing the original encoders with MonkeyOCRv2 consistently improves performance across all five tasks. Finally, we validate its effectiveness as the vision encoder of multimodal large language models on the more challenging tasks of document parsing and document understanding. Kept frozen and paired with a lightweight language model, it yields a 0.7B document parsing model that sets a new open-source state-of-the-art on MDPBench, a recent benchmark spanning digital-born and photographed documents across 17 languages, surpassing the previous best 3B dots.mocr by 2.8% absolute with a vision encoder roughly 11$\times$ smaller. The frozen encoder also powers a document understanding model that outperforms counterparts built on CLIP, DINO, and SAM across eight benchmarks under identical training settings. These results suggest that document-oriented visual pretraining can serve as a foundation for document intelligence in its own right.
