This is a release of the olmOCR model that's fine tuned from Qwen2.5-VL-7B-Instruct using the olmOCR-mix-1025 dataset. It has been additionally fine tuned using GRPO RL training to boost its performance at math equations, tables, and other tricky OCR cases.

The best way to use this model is via the olmOCR toolkit. The toolkit comes with an efficient inference setup via VLLM that can handle millions of documents at scale.

olmOCR-Bench Scores

This model scores the following scores on olmOCR-bench when used with the olmOCR toolkit toolkit which automatically renders, rotates, and retries pages as needed.

Model	ArXiv	Old Scans Math	Tables	Old Scans	Headers and Footers	Multi column	Long tiny text	Base	Overall
olmOCR pipeline v0.4.0 with olmOCR-2-7B-1025	82.9	82.1	84.3	48.3	95.7	84.3	81.4	99.7	82.3 ± 1.1
olmOCR pipeline v0.4.0 with olmOCR-2-7B-1025-FP8	83.0	82.3	84.9	47.7	96.1	83.7	81.9	99.7	82.4 ± 1.1

Usage

This model expects as input a single document image, rendered such that the longest dimension is 1288 pixels.

The prompt must then contain the additional metadata from the document, and the easiest way to generate this is to use the methods provided by the olmOCR toolkit.

Manual Prompting

If you want to prompt this model manually instead of using the olmOCR toolkit, please see the code below.

In normal usage, the olmOCR toolkit builds the prompt by rendering the PDF page, and extracting relevant text blocks and image metadata. To duplicate that you will need to

pip install olmocr>=0.4.0

and then run the following sample code.

python

import torch
import base64
import urllib.request

from io import BytesIO
from PIL import Image
from transformers import AutoProcessor, Qwen2_5_VLForConditionalGeneration

from olmocr.data.renderpdf import render_pdf_to_base64png
from olmocr.prompts import build_no_anchoring_v4_yaml_prompt

# Initialize the model
model = Qwen2_5_VLForConditionalGeneration.from_pretrained("allenai/olmOCR-2-7B-1025-FP8", device_map="auto").eval()
processor = AutoProcessor.from_pretrained("Qwen/Qwen2.5-VL-7B-Instruct")
device = torch.device("cuda" if torch.cuda.is_available() else "cpu")
model.to(device)

# Grab a sample PDF
urllib.request.urlretrieve("https://olmocr.allenai.org/papers/olmocr.pdf", "./paper.pdf")

# Render page 1 to an image
image_base64 = render_pdf_to_base64png("./paper.pdf", 1, target_longest_image_dim=1288)


# Build the full prompt
messages = [
            {
                "role": "user",
                "content": [
                    {"type": "text", "text": build_no_anchoring_v4_yaml_prompt()},
                    {"type": "image_url", "image_url": {"url": f"data:image/png;base64,{image_base64}"}},
                ],
            }
        ]

# Apply the chat template and processor
text = processor.apply_chat_template(messages, tokenize=False, add_generation_prompt=True)
main_image = Image.open(BytesIO(base64.b64decode(image_base64)))

inputs = processor(
    text=[text],
    images=[main_image],
    padding=True,
    return_tensors="pt",
)
inputs = {key: value.to(device) for (key, value) in inputs.items()}


# Generate the output
output = model.generate(
            **inputs,
            temperature=0.1,
            max_new_tokens=50,
            num_return_sequences=1,
            do_sample=True,
        )

# Decode the output
prompt_length = inputs["input_ids"].shape[1]
new_tokens = output[:, prompt_length:]
text_output = processor.tokenizer.batch_decode(
    new_tokens, skip_special_tokens=True
)

print(text_output)
