Deepseek OCR is no longer state of the art. There are much better open source OCR models available now.
ocrarena.ai maintains a leaderboard, and a number of other open source options like dots [1] or olmOCR [2] rank higher.

- ckrapu 8mo agoI wasn't aware of dots when I wrote the blog post. This is really good to know!! I would like to try again with some newer models.
- tclancy 8mo agoThe article mentions choosing the model for its ability to parse math well.
- segmondy 8mo agoyou are comparing to DeepSeek's old OCR, there's DeepSeek-OCR2 which btw is amazing from my experimentations. https://huggingface.co/deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-OCR-2 https://huggingface.co/deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-OCR-2
- vovavili 8mo agoA bit surprised to learn that Rednote maintains one of the leading open-source OCR models on the market, nice.
