By PulseAugur Editorial · [2 sources] ·

Baidu has developed an "Unlimited OCR" system capable of processing over 40 pages of documents in a single pass, a significant improvement over previous systems that could handle around ten. This advancement is achieved through a modified attention mechanism that maintains a constant memory usage, regardless of the document length. The system also boasts a processing speed of 5,580 tokens per second and currently leads the most important OCR benchmark. AI
