Unlimited OCR 2

Baidu open-sourced Unlimited OCR 2, a document parsing model that reads documents of any length in one pass, scoring 84.6 on MPDocBench and 77.1 on MarathonDocBench.

Version 2 replaces the reference sliding window attention of the June original with Sparse Reference Sliding Window Attention (SR-SWA). A page gate narrows each query's visual reference to relevant pages, and top-scoring buckets of visual tokens are pulled in, so the working set stays fixed (for example 512 tokens) and decoding latency and memory stay nearly constant as documents grow. Baidu says it parsed all seven Harry Potter books, over 3,600 pages, in one run.
