We present HunyuanOCR-1. 5, a lightweight end-to-end OCR-specialized vision-language model.
The paper evaluates open-source OCR, LLM, and VLM systems on a high‑risk public sector task: extracting structured data from student application documents. Results show that VLMs generally outperform OCR+LLM pipelines, yet only 4 of 35 configurations achieve F1 scores above 0.5, with most combinations scoring below 0.25. Model size and input quality, especially preserving OCR structure, are critical factors influencing performance.

HunyuanOCR-1.5 is a lightweight, end‑to‑end OCR‑specialized vision‑language model that unifies document parsing, text spotting, information extraction, text‑image translation, and multi‑image document understanding. It builds on the HunyuanOCR‑1.0 architecture, improving efficiency with DFlash‑based OCR decoding for faster inference (6.37× Transformer speedup, 2.14× under vLLM) and enhancing capability through an Agentic Data Flow system that autonomously constructs high‑quality training data for long‑tail OCR tasks. The model achieves top‑tier performance on OmniDocBench v1.6 and sets new milestones in ancient‑script OCR, chart/table parsing, multilingual parsing, and hallucination evaluation, while remaining lightweight for deployment.

Jina-OCR-v1 is an end‑to‑end document parsing model designed for low‑budget GPUs, combining a compressed‑vision encoder with a 3B mixture‑of‑experts decoder that activates about 570 M parameters per token. It uses a FastMTP speculative decoding head that shares a single draft block across three prediction steps, with greedy verification ensuring lossless decoding. Post‑training includes instruction alignment, robustness fine‑tuning on difficult documents, and GRPO with dense verifiable rewards, achieving 91.14 on OmniDocBench v1.6 and 83.4 on olmOCR‑Bench while delivering the highest page throughput at 2.57 pages per second on an NVIDIA L4 GPU.

End-to-end document parsers provide a unified interface, but serialize page layouts and regional contents into one autoregressive sequence. This formulation forces independent regions onto a decoding path whose length grows with the total content, whereas crop-based two-stage parsers expose region-level parallelism at the cost of repeated visual prefills and fragmented page context.
