Release
- [2026/06/22] ๐ We present Unlimited-OCR, aiming to push Deepseek-OCR one step further.
- [2026/06/23] ๐ค Thanks to the ModelScope community for their support. Our model is now available at ModelScope.

Set up the environment (uv-managed virtualenv). Install the local SGLang wheel first, then pin kernels==0.9.0 and install PyMuPDF for PDF-to-image conversion:
uv venv --python 3.12
source .venv/bin/activate
uv pip install wheel/sglang-0.0.0.dev11416+g92e8bb79e-py3-none-any.whl
uv pip install kernels==0.11.7
uv pip install pymupdf==1.27.2.2Start the SGLang server:
python -m sglang.launch_server \
--model baidu/Unlimited-OCR \
--served-model-name Unlimited-OCR \
--attention-backend fa3 \
--page-size 1 \
--mem-fraction-static 0.8 \
