Unlimited-OCR

Open-source vision-language model for parsing multi-page documents in one pass

Visit huggingface.co ↗

Unlimited-OCR is a 3B parameter vision-language document parsing model developed by Baidu. It processes entire multi-page documents and PDFs in a single pass across a 32k context window, maintaining formatting, reading order, and tables without heavy chunking pipelines. It runs locally and supports deployment via Transformers, vLLM, and SGLang.

What it's for

  • Parse multi-page PDF documents into structured text in a single pass
  • Extract clean text from dense documents for RAG pipelines without loss of reading order
  • Serve high-throughput local document OCR using vLLM or SGLang backends

Features

  • One-shot long-horizon multi-page document parsing
  • 32,768 token context length window
  • Native support for both single-image high-resolution and multi-image batch modes
  • Official inference support with Hugging Face Transformers, vLLM, and SGLang
  • Detection marker post-processing for bounding boxes and block separation
  • Open weights released under the MIT license

Pricing

Open source. Free and open source (MIT license)

Why it was saved

  • @roddycrypto_, 17 September 2026: Solves context loss and complex chunking pipelines in RAG workflows by reading up to 100+ pages in one pass while preserving reading order, tables, formulas, and formatting locally.
  • @ai.honeycove, 28 July 2026: Unlike traditional OCR tools that chunk documents page by page and lose context, it maintains document structure, layout, formulas, and tables across long contexts locally without cloud API costs.
