An evaluation row appears only where at least two of these models report the same benchmark with the same stated configuration, metric, unit and setup. Different evaluators stay named in each cell. Values are shown as reported: no unit conversion, no ranking.
Other Reported Results
These results are listed for each model on its own, because the conditions needed to compare them are not stated or do not match. Two results that leave a condition blank are not assumed to share it.

SAVRN's Notes on chandra-ocr-2
Chandra 2 turns images and PDFs into markdown, HTML or JSON while keeping the page layout, which is the part most OCR tools lose. Datalab built it on a Qwen 3.5 vision base at 5.3B parameters, and 2.8 million downloads a month make it one of the most used document models in our catalog.
It fits on a single mid-range GPU at 16-bit, and a 262,144-token context handles long multipage output. The OpenRAIL license allows commercial use subject to its use restrictions so read them before building a paid document product on it. For a document-heavy business this is a model worth testing first.
SAVRN's Notes on medgemma-4b-it
Medical image and text comprehension is what Google trained this for, and the 4B instruction-tuned build is the smallest of three MedGemma variants; the other two are 27B. At 16-bit the weights are 8.6 GB and the run needs 10.3 GB, a sliver of the 192 GB on one MI300X at $1.85 an hour on-demand. At 8-bit the need drops to 5.2 GB, at 4-bit to 2.6 GB. Fit is not the constraint; sessions per card is.
The license reads "other" and access is gated, so a deployment begins with Google's Health AI Developer Foundations terms rather than a standard open license, and those terms come before the files do. Confirm you are taking the build derived from medgemma-4b-pt, and check its context length against your prompts, since our record carries no figure. No host prices are on the Index yet, so your own facility is the priced path.
Questions
Which is larger, chandra-ocr-2 or medgemma-4b-it?
chandra-ocr-2 (5.3B parameters) is larger than medgemma-4b-it (4.3B parameters), by the parameter counts their publishers report.
Which is cheaper to run, chandra-ocr-2 or medgemma-4b-it?
At 4-bit, chandra-ocr-2 fits on 1x MI300X from $1.85 an hour and medgemma-4b-it on 1x MI300X from $1.85 an hour, at the lowest on-demand prices the SAVRN Index lists.
Can I use chandra-ocr-2 commercially?
Yes, with conditions. chandra-ocr-2 is released under Open RAIL License. Open RAIL licenses permit use, including commercial use, subject to the use-based restrictions listed in the license, which must be passed on to anyone who receives the model or a derivative.
