# olmOCR-2-7B-1025-MLX-8bit
|
| 13 |
+
|
| 14 |
+
This is an 8-bit quantized version of [allenai/olmOCR-2-7B-1025](https://huggingface.co/allenai/olmOCR-2-7B-1025) optimized for Apple Silicon using MLX.
|
| 15 |
+
|
| 16 |
+
## Model Description
|
| 17 |
+
|
| 18 |
+
olmOCR-2 is a state-of-the-art OCR (Optical Character Recognition) vision-language model fine-tuned from Qwen2.5-VL-7B-Instruct. This 8-bit quantized version provides excellent quality with significantly reduced memory footprint.
|
| 19 |
+
|
| 20 |
+
**Base Model:** allenai/olmOCR-2-7B-1025
|
| 21 |
+
**Quantization:** 8-bit using MLX
|
| 22 |
+
**Model Size:** 8.4 GB (down from ~14 GB BF16)
|
| 23 |
+
**Size Reduction:** ~40%
|
| 24 |
+
|
| 25 |
+
## Performance
|
| 26 |
+
|
| 27 |
+
olmOCR-2 achieves **82.4 points on olmOCR-Bench**, representing state-of-the-art performance for real-world OCR of English-language digitized print documents. The model has been additionally fine-tuned using GRPO RL training to boost performance on:
|
| 28 |
+
- Math equations
|
| 29 |
+
- Tables
|
| 30 |
+
- Complex layouts
|
| 31 |
+
- Handwriting
|

### Basic Usage
|
| 42 |
+
|
| 43 |
+
```python
|
| 44 |
+
from mlx_vlm import load, generate
|
| 45 |
+
from PIL import Image
|
| 46 |
+
|
| 47 |
+
# Load the model
|
| 48 |
+
model, processor = load("richardyoung/olmOCR-2-7B-1025-MLX-8bit")
|
| 49 |
+
|
| 50 |
+
# Load your image
|
| 51 |
+
image = Image.open("document.png")
|
| 52 |
+
|
| 53 |
+
# Extract text
|
| 54 |
+
prompt = "Extract all text from this image."
|
| 55 |
+
output = generate(model, processor, image, prompt, max_tokens=2048)
|
| 56 |
+
print(output)
|
| 57 |
+
```
|
| 58 |
