XCurOS-OCR · GGUF (F16, no quantization)

GGUF build of XCurOS-OCR, a compact 0.9B-parameter vision-language OCR model — runs locally with llama.cpp on CPU or GPU. Shipped in full precision F16, with no quantization.

✨ Lightweight & CPU-friendly — only 0.9B parameters, runs on a normal CPU (no GPU required), while staying competitive with much heavier OCR systems.

🤗 Transformers / safetensors version: XCurOS/XCurOS-OCR.

Files

File	Role
`XCurOS-OCR-F16.gguf`	Language decoder (F16)
`mmproj-XCurOS-OCR-F16.gguf`	Vision projector (required for image input)

Quick start

# CPU-only (no GPU)
llama-mtmd-cli -m XCurOS-OCR-F16.gguf --mmproj mmproj-XCurOS-OCR-F16.gguf --image page.png -p "OCR" -ngl 0

# REST API server
llama-server -m XCurOS-OCR-F16.gguf --mmproj mmproj-XCurOS-OCR-F16.gguf -ngl 0

# Or auto-download this repo
llama-server -hf XCurOS/XCurOS-OCR-GGUF

Benchmarks

XCurOS-OCR (ours) compared against leading OCR systems. Bold = best among specialized OCR VLMs. - = not reported. 💡 XCurOS-OCR is a lightweight 0.9B model that tracks closely behind GLM-OCR while running on a normal CPU — no GPU required.
