Basic usage with llama-server:
llama-server -m PaddleOCR-VL-1.5.gguf --mmproj mmproj-PaddleOCR-VL-1.5.gguf -c 20000 --fit off
Then make a request with an image attached and prompt e.g: <__media__>OCR:
PaddleOCR-VL is expected to be used with a separate Paddle layout analysis model (NOT included in llama.cpp - it's in the PaddlePaddle library). However, for simpler use cases PaddleOCR-VL can work alone.
So far on short multilingual line texts, it performs well on low quants (Q4_K_M lm & Q4_1 mmproj). Performance remains to be seen on more complex tasks.
