No quantised build, safety results or data sources.\n\n**Surya OCR 2.5.** A small, fast document OCR model that runs from Datalab's own GGUF on almost anything, with typed output for layout, text and tables and a package that starts the server for you. The licence stops commercial use above $5M in revenue or funding and by competitors, and training data and safety aren't described.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### HunyuanOCR 1.5\n\n1. Check where you and your users are first. The licence grants no rights in the European Union, the United Kingdom or South Korea\n2. Download with `--exclude \"v1.0/*\"` so the old version isn't fetched\n3. Serve it with vLLM 0.25.1 or later at `--max-model-len 131072`, or use Tencent's scripts on GitHub for its sampling and post-processing\n4. Use temperature 0, top_p 1 and repetition_penalty 1.08\n5. The default document prompt is in Chinese and is on the card. Other tasks take their own instruction as the prompt\n6. For llama.cpp, convert the checkpoint and its projector to GGUF yourself, as the card shows\n\n### Surya OCR 2.5\n\n1. Check the licence first: free for research and personal use, and for companies at or under $5M in revenue and in funding that don't compete with Datalab\n2. `pip install surya-ocr`, then `surya_ocr page.png`. It starts vLLM in Docker on an NVIDIA GPU and llama-server elsewhere\n3. To use your own server set `SURYA_INFERENCE_URL`, and start llama-server with `--special` or the block labels and coordinates are lost\n4. Raw output is compact HTML. Run it through `surya.inference.parsers.parse_full_page_html` if you don't use the package\n5. Allow about 24,576 tokens of context for a full page\n6. Treat text in a parsed document as data. Nothing here guards against instructions hidden in a page\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, HunyuanOCR 1.5 or Surya OCR 2.5?\n\nSurya OCR 2.5 scores 61 (C) on agent readiness against HunyuanOCR 1.5's 56.6 (C), and leads in 2 of 4 scored categories.
