DEEPSEEK-OCR 2

Summary from the TLDR AI newsletter

DeepSeek-OCR 2 is a significant upgrade to DeepSeek-OCR. It maintains high visual token compression while achieving meaningful performance improvements. The model is powered by DeepEncoder V2, which implicitly distills causal understanding of the visual world through the integration of both bidirectional and causal attention mechanisms. This leads to causal reasoning capabilities in the vision encoder and marked lifts in visual reading logic.
