Unlimited OCR 2 is here, and it's open source. 📖 ✨ Longer documents can mean a lot more attention computation. Our new SR-SWA mechanism keeps that in check by condensing text-visual attention interactions into a fixed-size set of working references. Here's what it delivers: - Document parsing at virtually any length, within a finite context window - Nearly constant per-step decoding latency and memory footprint as documents grow longer - State-of-the-art performance on MPDocBench and MarathonDocBench, covering documents from dozens to hundreds of pages Check out the model here ↓
