Unlimited OCR Works

Welcome the Era of One-shot Long-horizon Parsing.

Release

• [2026/06/22] 🚀 We present Unlimited-OCR, aiming to push Deepseek-OCR one step further.

Inference

Transformers

Inference using Huggingface transformers on NVIDIA GPUs. Requirements tested on python 3.12.3 + CUDA12.9：

torch==2.10.0
torchvision==0.25.0
transformers==4.57.1
Pillow==12.1.1
matplotlib==3.10.8
einops==0.8.2
addict==2.4.0
easydict==1.13
pymupdf==1.27.2.2
psutil==7.2.2

SGLang

Set up the environment (uv-managed virtualenv). Install the local SGLang wheel first, then pin kernels==0.9.0 and install PyMuPDF for PDF-to-image conversion:

uv venv --python 3.12
source .venv/bin/activate

uv pip install wheel/sglang-0.0.0.dev11416+g92e8bb79e-py3-none-any.whl
uv pip install kernels==0.11.7
uv pip install pymupdf==1.27.2.2

Start the SGLang server:

python -m sglang.launch_server \
    --model baidu/Unlimited-OCR \
    --served-model-name Unlimited-OCR \
    --attention-backend fa3 \
    --page-size 1 \
    --mem-fraction-static 0.8 \
    --context-length 32768 \
    --enable-custom-logit-processor \
    --disable-overlap-schedule \
    --skip-server-warmup \
    --host 0.0.0.0 \
    --port 10000

Send streaming requests to the OpenAI-compatible API:
