The LightOnOCR-3 family posts strong document-parsing results: #1 and #2 on ParseBench with the 4B (75.1) and 0.8B (74.6) models; the 4B hits 86.3 on olmOCR-Bench, beaten only by the 35B Infinity Parser Pro (87.6); and the three models sweep the top 3 on fr-bench-pdf2md, led by the 4B at 74.1. Small models now rival much larger ones on document recognition.
