Deepseek OCR is no longer state of the art. There are much better open source OCR models available now.

ocrarena.ai maintains a leaderboard, and a number of other open source options like dots [1] or olmOCR [2] rank higher.

I wasn't aware of dots when I wrote the blog post. This is really good to know!! I would like to try again with some newer models.

The article mentions choosing the model for its ability to parse math well.

A bit surprised to learn that Rednote maintains one of the leading open-source OCR models on the market, nice.
