Alibaba's 0.8B OvisOCR3 tops MDPBench at 88.8, edging out Gemini-3-pro

Alibaba released OvisOCR3, an OCR model that scores 88.8 on the MDPBench document-parsing benchmark, ahead of Gemini-3-pro-preview at 88.4. Weights are available on Hugging Face.

Despite its compact 0.8B size, the model unifies five task families: document parsing, general OCR, key information extraction, figure captioning, and cross-page table reconstruction. Training combines domain-balanced mid-training, multi-teacher on-policy distillation from five 4B domain teachers, and mixed-task RL with domain-specific rewards. It hits 96.74 on OmniDocBench v1.6, ranks first on OCRBench v2 (65.9 English / 61.3 Chinese), and leads on PureDocBench, CrossTabBench, and more.
