Convert document images to markdown using Qianfan-OCR with vLLM.
Qianfan-OCR is a 4.7B end-to-end document intelligence model from Baidu,
built on InternVL architecture with Qianfan-ViT encoder + Qwen3-4B LLM.
Features:
- #1 end-to-end model on OmniDocBench v1.5 (93.12) and OlmOCR Bench (79.8)
- Layout-as-Thought: optional reasoning phase for complex layouts via --think
- 192 language support (Latin, CJK, Arabic, Cyrillic, and more)
- Multiple task modes: OCR, table (HTML), formula (LaTeX), chart, scene text
- Key information extraction with custom prompts
- 1.024 PPS on A100 with W8A8 quantization
