OCRFlux-3B: Advanced Document-to-Markdown Conversion

OCRFlux-3B is a 3 billion parameter multimodal large language model (VLM) developed by ChatDOC, fine-tuned from Qwen2.5-VL-3B-Instruct. It specializes in converting PDFs and images into clean, readable Markdown text, aiming to significantly advance the state-of-the-art in document parsing. The model leverages private document datasets and data from the olmOCR-mix-0225 dataset for its fine-tuning.

Key Capabilities

  • Superior Parsing Quality: Achieves an average Edit Distance Similarity (EDS) of 0.967 on the OCRFlux-bench-single benchmark, outperforming baselines like olmOCR-7B-0225-preview (0.872), Nanonets-OCR-s (0.858), and MonkeyOCR (0.780).
  • Native Cross-Page Merging: Uniquely supports the detection and merging of tables and paragraphs that span across multiple pages, a critical feature for accurate document digitization.
  • Efficient Inference: Designed to run efficiently, even on GPUs like the GTX 3090, making it accessible for various deployment scenarios.
  • Robust Table Parsing: Demonstrates strong performance in table parsing, with an average Tree Edit Distance-based Similarity (TEDS) of 0.861 on the OCRFlux-pubtabnet-single benchmark.

Good For

  • High-Quality Document Digitization: Ideal for converting complex PDFs and images into structured Markdown with high fidelity.
  • Automated Data Extraction: Excellent for scenarios requiring accurate extraction of text and tables from multi-page documents.
  • Applications with Limited Resources: Its 3B parameter size allows for deployment on more modest hardware compared to larger models.
  • Developers needing a comprehensive OCR toolkit: Best utilized via the OCRFlux toolkit for efficient, scalable inference and pipeline management.
