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 Qwen3.5-0.8B

Half a gigabyte of memory runs Qwen3.5-0.8B at 4-bit; 16-bit needs 2.1 GB and 8-bit 1.0 GB. It takes images and text in and returns text, with 873 million parameters and a 262,144-token context, and the evaluations the file reports, ScreenSpot-Pro and ExtractBench among them, point at screen and extraction work. The cheapest place to put it is a 192 GB MI300X at $1.85 an hour on demand, where dozens of copies fit, so the hourly rate is the cost that matters, not memory.

The file traces it to Qwen/Qwen3.5-0.8B-Base, and Apache License 2.0 allows commercial use, modification and redistribution, with notices kept and significant changes stated, so a tuned variant of your own is within the terms. Check the long-context path before leaning on the 262,144-token window: the ExtractBench figures in the file fall from 46.63 mean to 26.98 medium to 6.65 long, all third-party reported.

SAVRN's Notes on surya-ocr-2

A context window of 262,144 tokens on a 686M parameter OCR model tells you what Datalab built it for: whole documents, with layout, reading order and table rows and columns alongside the text. The 16-bit weights are 1.4 GB and need 1.6 GB; 8-bit needs 0.8 GB, 4-bit 0.4 GB. The cheapest setup in our data is one MI300X with 192 GB at $1.85 per hour, so one card runs many instances side by side and the buying question is pages per hour per dollar.

Open RAIL permits commercial use subject to use-based restrictions you must pass on to anyone who receives the model or a derivative, so read that list before it goes into a product. Then check the model card's own olmOCR-bench numbers, 83.3 overall but 41.8 on old scans, against your scanned backfile. The publisher calls it 650M parameters while the configuration counts 686M.
