DeepSeek-OCR: Contexts Optical Compression
Explore the boundaries of visual-text compression.
## Usage
Inference using Huggingface transformers on NVIDIA GPUs. Requirements tested on python 3.12.9 + CUDA11.8：
\`\`\`
torch==2.6.0
transformers==4.46.3
tokenizers==0.20.3
einops
addict
easydict
pip install flash-attn==2.7.3 --no-build-isolation
\`\`\`
\`\`\`python
from transformers import AutoModel, AutoTokenizer
import torch
import os
os.environ["CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES"] = '0'
model_name = 'deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-OCR'
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name, trust_remote_code=True)
model = AutoModel.from_pretrained(model_name, _attn_implementation='flash_attention_2', trust_remote_code=True, use_safetensors=True)
model = model.eval().cuda().to(torch.bfloat16)
# prompt = "
\nFree OCR. "
prompt = "\n<|grounding|>Convert the document to markdown. "
image_file = 'your_image.jpg'
output_path = 'your/output/dir'
# infer(self, tokenizer, prompt='', image_file='', output_path = ' ', base_size = 1024, image_size = 640, crop_mode = True, test_compress = False, save_results = False):
# Tiny: base_size = 512, image_size = 512, crop_mode = False
# Small: base_size = 640, image_size = 640, crop_mode = False
# Base: base_size = 1024, image_size = 1024, crop_mode = False
# Large: base_size = 1280, image_size = 1280, crop_mode = False
# Gundam: base_size = 1024, image_size = 640, crop_mode = True
res = model.infer(tokenizer, prompt=prompt, image_file=image_file, output_path = output_path, base_size = 1024, image_size = 640, crop_mode=True, save_results = True, test_compress = True)

## vLLM
Refer to [GitHub](https://github.com/deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-OCR/) for guidance on model inference acceleration and PDF processing, etc.
[2025/10/23] DeepSeek-OCR is now officially supported in upstream [vLLM](https://docs.vllm.ai/projects/recipes/en/latest/DeepSeek/DeepSeek-OCR.html#installing-vllm).
\`\`\`shell
uv venv
source .venv/bin/activate
# Until v0.11.1 release, you need to install vLLM from nightly build
uv pip install -U vllm --pre --extra-index-url https://wheels.vllm.ai/nightly

\`\`\`python
from vllm import LLM, SamplingParams
