Zhipu AI drops GLM-OCR to crush complex document parsing
Zhipu AI just open-sourced GLM-OCR, an ultra-compact 0.9B multimodal model built for heavy-duty document understanding. Despite its small size, it topped OmniDocBench V1.5 with a 94.62 score, parsing intricate tables, formulas, and handwriting into Markdown or structured JSON. It runs out of the box on vLLM and Ollama under an MIT license, making local document extraction fast and dirt-cheap.
