Abstract:We present Jina-OCR-v1, an end-to-end document parsing model built to serve on low-budget GPUs. It combines the compressed-vision encoder and the 3B mixture-of-experts decoder of DeepSeek-OCR, which activates about 570M parameters per token, with a FastMTP speculative decoding head that shares a single draft block recursively across K=3 prediction steps. Greedy verification makes decoding lossless. Post-training combines instruction alignment, robustness fine-tuning on difficult documents, and GRPO under dense verifiable rewards: deterministic formula, table, and structural checks that award partial credit. The training data mixes cleaned public corpora with targeted synthetic pages. At the default dynamic-resolution setting, Jina-OCR-v1 scores 91.14 on OmniDocBench v1.6 and 83.4 on olmOCR-Bench, and reaches the highest page throughput in our comparison at 2.57 pages per second. On a low-budget GPU such as the NVIDIA L4, FastMTP doubles decoding speed over greedy autoregressive decoding. The model is publicly available at this https URL.
