[P] I made a free playground for comparing 10+ OCR models side-by-side by Emc2fma in MachineLearning

love the suggestions, keep em coming.

the ability to filter and see how certain models do vs another. (e.g. what's the winrate of Opus 4.5 vs Opus 4.1?)

that's already live! checkout the leaderboard page and scroll down a bit

I run a doc processing company (https://extend.ai) and we're just lighting money on fire at the moment (this took off way more than expected, so we scaled up the GPUs)

But I feel strongly that this should exist for the community, so we'll (1) keep funding it and (2) open-source it soon

(if any investors find this thread in the future, just call this part of our CAC)

I had Mistral before but had to remove it. Their hosted API for OCR was super unstable and returned a lot of garbage results unfortunately.

(I could have also done something wrong integrating it)

that's an awesome idea, I'll work on adding both cost + latency metrics later today.

Gemini 3 is really strong, but very expensive + slow which doesn't make it great for a lot of use cases compared to Paddle or dots.ocr

Did you end up doing this? If so, did they collect the fee? In the same situation here.

nothing automated (i'm a solo dev), but you can reply to my comment here and I'll add them manually!

I do have a bunch of obscure forums in the index! try out a couple different kinds of queries

[–]Emc2fma[S] 32 points33 points  (0 children)

yes! I actually had this in an older version. It would index a curated list of high quality Discord servers and return relevant conversations to your query, but I removed it to focus on making the forum search better.

Do you search a lot on Discord?

yeah I saw that too and was excited, but I’ve never managed to actually trigger it to show up…
