MinerU2.5-Pro is our latest document parsing model (PDF-to-Markdown) that establishes a new industry standard. By focusing entirely on data engineering without altering the original 1.2B-parameter architecture, it delivers exceptional results across the board:
1. Defeating Leading Models on OmniDocBench v1.6
On the newly proposed, highly rigorous OmniDocBench v1.6, MinerU2.5-Pro achieves the absolute SOTA overall score of 95.69. It comprehensively outperforms both top-tier specialized OCR models (GLM-OCR, PaddleOCR-VL-1.5) and massive frontier VLMs (Gemini 3 Pro, Qwen3-VL-235B).
2. Massive Leap from MinerU 2.5 via Data Engineering
Compared to the previous MinerU 2.5 baseline, the overall score skyrocketed from 92.98 to 95.69. This breakthrough was achieved not by scaling model parameters, but through meticulous data engineering—drastically expanding data scale, enriching distribution and difficulty diversity, and systematically elevating annotation quality.
3. Exceptional Modality-Specific Breakthroughs
📊 Table Parsing: Evaluated across 5 diverse table benchmarks, MinerU2.5-Pro dominates the leaderboard. It outperforms the 2nd place model by 1.39 points and surpasses the original MinerU by 3.06 points (with Table TEDS jumping specifically by +5.54 on OmniDocBench).
🧮 Formulas & Text: Achieves SOTA levels with Dense Formula parsing (CDM) reaching 97.29 (+1.70), and Text Edit Distance dropping to an industry-best 0.036.
4. ✨ New Practical Capabilities
Beyond metric improvements, MinerU2.5-Pro now natively supports: Image & Chart Parsing, Truncated Paragraph Merging, Cross-Page Table Merging and In-Table Image Recognition.
💡 How We Achieved It: The Data Engine
Current SOTA models (regardless of architecture) consistently fail on the same set of complex layouts. We realized the true bottleneck is training data deficiency and annotation noise. To fix this, we built a novel Data Engine:
Difficulty & Diversity-Aware Scaling: We expanded the training corpus from under 10M to 65.5M pages, heavily targeting long-tail hard samples while controlling distribution shifts.
Solving the "Annotation Paradox": Complex tables and dense formulas usually suffer from noisy automatic labels. We generated ultra-reliable annotations using Cross-Model Consistency Verification (CMCV) and an iterative Judge-and-Refine pipeline.
3-Stage Progressive Training: We maximized data utility by matching data quality tiers to a structured training pipeline: Large-scale Pre-training ➡️ High-quality Hard-Sample Fine-Tuning ➡️ GRPO Format Alignment.
Bottom Line: MinerU2.5-Pro proves that systematic data engineering is the ultimate lever for document parsing, providing the most accurate structural extraction available today for LLM data pipelines and advanced RAG systems.
1. Quick Start
For convenience, we provide mineru-vl-utils, a Python package that simplifies the process of sending requests and handling responses from MinerU2.5-Pro Vision-Language Model. Here we give some examples to use MinerU2.5-Pro. For more information and usages, please refer to mineru-vl-utils.
📌 We strongly recommend using vllm for inference, as the vllm-async-engine can achieve a concurrent inference speed of 2.12 fps on one A100.
