strangervisionhf/paddle.ocr_path_expose

This is the OCR weight component of the PaddlePaddle/PaddleOCR-VL model. These weights cannot be used for other use cases. If you wish to do so, please visit the original model page!

This repository directly exposes the OCR-only weights for smoother transformers implementation of the PaddleOCR-VL model.

Last updated: 4:00 AM (IST), October 25, 2025.

The latest transformers version used as of the above date is transformers==4.57.1 and the torch version 2.8.0+cu126
