By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Baidu has released Unlimited OCR 2, a 3 billion parameter vision-language model capable of processing lengthy documents in a single request. This model utilizes SR-SWA sparse attention to maintain consistent decoding costs regardless of document length. The model's weights are available under an MIT license and it can be run on a single GPU. AI

IMPACT Enables efficient processing of long documents, potentially improving AI applications in document analysis and summarization.
