GLM OCR

GLM-OCR is a multimodal image-to-text OCR model from zai-org built on a GLM-V encoder-decoder architecture. It uses a CogViT visual encoder, a cross-modal connector with token downsampling, and a GLM-0.5B language decoder, with Multi-Token Prediction loss and full-task reinforcement learning. The model card reports support for languages including Chinese, English, French, Spanish, Russian, German, Japanese, and Korean, and describes a two-stage layout analysis and parallel recognition pipeline based on PP-DocLayout-V3. It is released under the MIT license with Safetensors tags and lists Transformers as the library name. The card states it has 0.9B parameters and supports deployment via vLLM, SGLang, and Ollama, and reports a score of 94.62 on OmniDocBench V1.5 plus throughput results under specified conditions.

Freshness 33 out of 100. Repository age: 288 days old, Jan 30, 2026. Measures age, not quality.

What do these scores mean?

Two ways to compare models. Neither score measures answer quality, benchmark performance, or whether a model fits your machine.

Freshness · release age

A new release starts at 100. The score halves every 180 days: 100 × 2^(−age in days / 180). When the release date is unavailable, a repository date is a fallback—not proof of when the model was released. Missing dates stay unscored.

Popularity · adoption

Downloads over the past 30 days carry 80% of the score; lifetime likes carry 20%. Both use a logarithmic scale, capped at 10 million downloads and 100,000 likes. If likes are unavailable, downloads carry all the weight. Missing download statistics stay unscored.

Best for

  • Complex document understanding and OCR
  • Formula recognition
  • Table recognition
  • Information extraction
  • Routing image and PDF documents to Markdown via the official SDK pipeline

Tradeoffs

  • The official SDK is currently designed for document parsing tasks only
  • For information extraction, the model card says to run inference directly with the model
  • Language coverage is limited to the languages listed on the model card
  • Performance and speed figures are from the model card and should not be treated as independently verified
  • No compatibility, hardware, or license details beyond the model card are provided
