DeepSeek-OCR-Latest-BF16

DeepSeek-OCR-Latest-BF16.I64 is an optimized and updated version of the original DeepSeek-OCR. It is an open-source vision-language OCR model designed to extract text from images and scanned documents—including both digital and handwritten content—and can output results as plain text or Markdown. This model leverages a powerful multimodal backbone (3B VLM) to improve reading comprehension and layout understanding for both typed and cursive handwriting. It also excels at preserving document structures such as headings, tables, and lists in its outputs.

The BF16 variant has been updated and tested with the following environment:

transformers: 4.57.1
torch: 2.6.0+cu124 (or) the latest version (i.e., torch 2.9.0)
cuda: 12.4
device: NVIDIA H200 MIG 3g.71gb

This version allows flexible configuration of attention implementations—such as flash_attention or sdpa—for performance optimization or standardization. Users can also opt out of specific attention implementations if desired.
