Inspired by Brian Roemmele, I set up DeepSeek-OCR on colab. Even with a T4 GPU and 4-bit quantization, it scans a page in about 45 seconds. In this video, you can see that it compressed 527 text tokens to 249 image tokens. DeepSeek-OCR is trained on nearly 100 languages, they say in their paper. So, I'm going to try using it on some old manuscripts written in indic languages soon.
