Logics-Parsing-V3 · A 0.8B Document Parser That Reads Layout, Not Just Characters
English | 简体中文 · Also on ModelScope · 42ailab.com
  
Give it a page — a scanned book, a paper, a photo of a document — and it returns structured text: headings as headings, body as body, tables as tables, formulas as formulas. All of it runs on your own machine: no upload, free, private.
The model was built by the [Alibaba Logics team](https://github.com/alibaba/Logics-Parsing) and released under Apache-2.0 (Logics-Parsing-V3, a Qwen3.5 vision-language architecture). This repository is not a new model — it is a quantized GGUF build we produced so the model runs offline on your own computer, together with our quality checks. The capability belongs upstream; what we did was make it run locally.
1. The problem it solves
Getting text out of scans, papers and photographed pages usually breaks in three places: layout (two columns, captions and running heads collapse into one stream), formulas (turned into noise or dropped), and tables (merged cells flattened into a single row).
Handling those has usually meant uploading the file to a cloud service — a step people hesitate over with contracts, internal documents and unpublished drafts.
Logics-Parsing-V3 is only 0.8B parameters; quantized it is under 800 MB and runs on an ordinary laptop, so the file never leaves your machine.
2. How it works
The capability comes from the Alibaba Logics team's Logics-Parsing-V3. Its design points:
- State-recurrent parsing across pages. Instead of fitting a whole document into one context window, it carries a compact structural state forward from page to page. Quality therefore degrades more slowly as documents get longer.
- Structure and content in one pass. Heading hierarchy, cross-page merging and figure–text association are produced by the model itself rather than by a chain of rules bolted on afterwards.
What we did: converted the upstream weights into one quantized file (774 MB) plus a vision encoder (195 MB), verified that quantization did not degrade quality, and made it run offline across macOS / Windows / Linux — under the same Apache-2.0 license as upstream.
3. How well it works
For the model's full benchmark results on MPDocBench and OmniDocBench v1.6, please refer to the upstream repository's benchmark figures (GitHub). Below are our own checks, plus the one table upstream publishes as numbers rather than as an image.
Our measurements (macOS · Apple Silicon · Q8_0 + f16 vision encoder):
⚠️ Evidence strength, stated honestly: the "confused word" and "notation" rows each rest on a single page. They hold for that page and should not be generalized into a capability profile.
Upstream's officially reported efficiency figures (MPDocBench, 420 documents / 3,135 pages, H100, batch size 1, source):
4. Limitations and what comes next
- Only single-page mode runs locally today. Upstream also defines a long-document mode that carries structural state across pages; wiring that up requires feeding multiple pages and maintaining state, which our local engine does not do yet. Single-page mode already covers "photograph a page, read a page".
- Figures and charts return a location, not content. The model emits layout boxes for illustrations; with no local image store to put them in, those blocks are skipped. Text is unaffected.
- Heading levels and cross-page continuation markers belong to long-document mode and do not appear in single-page output.
5. How to download and use
This build is packaged for 42model; getting it through 42model is recommended:
Option 1 · Desktop app: open Model Library → OCR, download Logics-Parsing-V3, then click "Start".
Option 2 · Command line (CLI):
42model download logics-parsing-v3Files and license
Per-file sha256 values are on the repository's file page and can be verified independently.
