vLLM

Please refer to the official vLLM recipe for deployment details:

Recipe: https://recipes.vllm.ai/baidu/Unlimited-OCR

Docker Images

Use the following Docker images depending on your GPU platform:

Default (CUDA 13.0):

docker pull vllm/vllm-openai:unlimited-ocr

For Hopper GPUs (CUDA 12.9)

docker pull vllm/vllm-openai:unlimited-ocr-cu129

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:

shell

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:

shell

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:

python

import base64
import json
import os
import tempfile

import fitz
import requests
from sglang.srt.sampling.custom_logit_processor import DeepseekOCRNoRepeatNGramLogitProcessor

# Single image supports two configs: gundam or base. Example below uses gundam.
generate("document parsing.", ["your_image.jpg"], image_mode="gundam", ngram_window=128)

# Multi image (base only)
generate("Multi page parsing.", ["page1.png", "page2.png"], image_mode="base", ngram_window=1024)

# PDF (base only)
generate("Multi page parsing.", pdf_to_images("your_doc.pdf", dpi=300), image_mode="base", ngram_window=1024)

For OmniDocBench evaluation, you need to perform the following post-processing.

python

DET_RE = re.compile(r'<\|det\|>([^<\s]+)(?:\s*\[[^\]]*\])?\s*<\|/det\|>(.*)', re.DOTALL)

def remove_det(raw: str) -> str:
    """
    Strip <|det|>type [bbox]<|/det|> markers, group lines belonging to the
    same block with \\n, and separate different blocks with \\n\\n.
    """
    blocks = []
    cur = None
    for line in raw.splitlines():
        line = line.rstrip()
        if not line:
            continue
        m = DET_RE.match(line)
        if m:
            category, content = m.group(1).strip(), m.group(2).strip()
            if category == 'image':
                continue
            if cur is not None:
                blocks.append(cur)
            cur = [content] if content else []
            continue
        if cur is None:
            cur = []
        cur.append(line)
    if cur is not None:
        blocks.append(cur)
    text = '\n\n'.join('\n'.join(b) for b in blocks).strip()
    return text
