postdoc-ocr-freeform is an open-weight model from Matvei Fedorov, released under MIT License. It has 33,088 parameters and a 128-token context. At 16-bit it needs about 0 GB of GPU memory, which fits on 1x MI300X from $1.85 an hour, at the lowest prices in the SAVRN Index.
This is an exploratory note for OCR Freeform. It records the intended comparison, likely confounders, and reproducibility requirements before any benchmark result is reported.
Runs On
What it takes to serve postdoc-ocr-freeform (33,088 parameters): the memory its weights need at each precision, and the cheapest way to rent enough data-center GPUs to hold them.
| Precision | Weights | Memory needed | Cheapest setup | Per hour | Also fits |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 16-bit | 0.0 GB | 0.0 GB | 1x MI300X (192 GB) Vultr |
$1.85 | 1x H100 $1.99 · 1x MI325X $2.00 |
| 8-bit | 0.0 GB | 0.0 GB | 1x MI300X (192 GB) Vultr |
$1.85 | 1x H100 $1.99 · 1x MI325X $2.00 |
| 4-bit | 0.0 GB | 0.0 GB | 1x MI300X (192 GB) Vultr |
$1.85 | 1x H100 $1.99 · 1x MI325X $2.00 |
Memory is the weights at that precision plus 20% for the runtime and a short context; a long context needs more. Prices are the lowest on-demand hourly rates in the SAVRN Index, read Oct 18, 2026.

How to read this repository
Start with notes.md for the full note. Sections labeled as plans or hypotheses should not be interpreted as experimental results. If results are added later, they should include dataset versions, commands, seeds, hardware, and raw logs.
Scope and limitations
The note is intentionally exploratory. It does not claim benchmark improvements, completed ablations, released code, or a trained checkpoint. References and proposed datasets provide a starting point for verification rather than evidence that the study has already been run.

Questions About postdoc-ocr-freeform
How much GPU memory does postdoc-ocr-freeform need?
About 0 GB at 16-bit and 0 GB at 4-bit: the weights (33,088 parameters) plus a working margin. A long context needs more.
What is the cheapest GPU to run postdoc-ocr-freeform on?
At 16-bit, 1x MI300X from $1.85 an hour; at 4-bit, 1x MI300X from $1.85 an hour, at the lowest on-demand prices the SAVRN Index lists.
Can I use postdoc-ocr-freeform commercially?
Yes. postdoc-ocr-freeform is released under MIT License. The MIT License is a short permissive license. It permits commercial use, modification and redistribution, provided the copyright notice and permission notice are included.
What is postdoc-ocr-freeform's context length?
128 tokens, from the maximum position embeddings in its published configuration.
