About GLM-OCR
GLM-OCR is a multimodal optical character recognition model and open source repository that provides accurate, efficient, and comprehensive document understanding by combining text and visual modalities into a unified encoder–decoder architecture derived from the GLM-V family. Built with a visual encoder pre-trained on large-scale image–text data and a lightweight cross-modal connector feeding into a GLM-0.5B language decoder, the model supports layout detection, parallel region recognition, and structured output for text, tables, formulas, and complicated real-world document formats. It introduces Multi-Token Prediction (MTP) loss and stable full-task reinforcement learning to improve training efficiency, recognition accuracy, and generalization, achieving state-of-the-art benchmarks on major document understanding tasks.

HunyuanOCR
Tencent Hunyuan is a large-scale, multimodal AI model family developed by Tencent that spans text, image, video, and 3D modalities, designed for general-purpose AI tasks like content generation, visual reasoning, and business automation. Its model lineup includes variants optimized for natural language understanding, multimodal vision-language comprehension (e.g., image & video understanding), text-to-image creation, video generation, and 3D content generation. Hunyuan models leverage a mixture-of-experts architecture and other innovations (like hybrid “mamba-transformer” designs) to deliver strong performance on reasoning, long-context understanding, cross-modal tasks, and efficient inference. For example, the vision-language model Hunyuan-Vision-1.5 supports “thinking-on-image”, enabling deep multimodal understanding and reasoning on images, video frames, diagrams, or spatial data.
