LightOnOCR-2-1B

Moved from Week 4 2026, and unchanged since: the model card and its arXiv paper are both dated 19-20 January 2026 with no revision or changelog since, so this is the same release rather than a new one. A 1B end-to-end vision-language OCR model under Apache 2.0 turning PDFs, scans and images into clean ordered text without a conventional OCR pipeline, trained with stronger French, arXiv and scan coverage than the original plus better LaTeX handling. Reports 83.2% on OlmOCR-Bench overall at 5.71 pages a second on an H100, 3.3x faster than Chandra OCR, for under a cent per thousand pages. Six variants released.
