Open-source doc parsing model OXR hits SOTA with 1.3B params and RSI post-training

JaynitMakwana · x · 2026-10-23

SoMark released OXR (Optical Everything Recognition), an open-source document parsing model that converts PDFs and document images into agent-friendly Markdown or JSON with layout coordinates, aimed at RAG pipelines and agents. Trained from scratch at just 1.3B parameters, OXR uses a recursive self-improvement (RSI) loop in post-training: multiple rollouts flag wrong or disagreeing results, a general VLM explains the failures, explanations are clustered into recurring problem types, and new image-label pairs are generated automatically — no hand labeling. The repo is on GitHub (273 stars) with an online demo and free API.
