Open-source OCR model with no page limits or growing attention cost. It parses very long documents in one pass and held up on 5,000-page tests. The creator says he tested it and found it impressive.
Baidu's open-source OCR model that parses very long multi-page documents in one pass with near-constant decoding cost.

Unlimited OCR 2 is an open-source document parsing model from Baidu, a follow-up to the original Unlimited-OCR released in June 2026, which was positioned as a step beyond DeepSeek-OCR. It takes page images and outputs parsed text for each page, and can process all pages of a document in a single request so that cross-page context is preserved.
Version 2 introduces Sparse Reference Sliding Window Attention (SR-SWA), which compresses text-visual attention over long sequences into a fixed-size set of working references (for example 512 tokens). According to the README, this keeps per-step decoding latency and memory use nearly constant regardless of document length. The project reports state-of-the-art results on MPDocBench and on MarathonDocBench, a new ultra-long document benchmark released by Baidu. YouTube reviewers describe tests on documents of around 5,000 pages and a model size of about 6.9 GB.
It can be run with Hugging Face Transformers (multi-page infer_multi and single-page infer modes) or served with a customized SGLang build that supports page-window scheduling. vLLM support, ms-swift training support, ModelScope and Baidu Cloud availability, and a Hugging Face Space demo are also listed. The documented tests used an NVIDIA A800 80GB GPU, so a CUDA GPU is expected.
- Parses multi-page documents in a single request with cross-page context
- SR-SWA attention keeps decoding latency and memory nearly constant as documents grow
- Transformers inference and SGLang serving; vLLM support noted for the first version
- Single-page dynamic tiling (gundam) and multi-page base modes
- Released alongside MarathonDocBench for ultra-long document parsing
- Training supported via ms-swift
