Research-only reading documents models

3 in the catalogue today, and the list grows as the market does. Every one with what it costs, who sells it and where it stands.

Models that read documents — scans, photographs of pages, forms, tables — and return text or structure. The interesting difference between them is not whether they can read a clean page, which they all can, but what they do with a table, a stamp, a handwritten margin or a column that breaks across pages. Several are priced per page rather than per token, which makes them easy to budget and hard to compare with the rest.

Weights published for research and explicitly not for selling. They are here because they exist, are often excellent, and are worth knowing about — and because the cheapest way to learn this is not after you have shipped. If a model on this list is what you want, the maker will usually license it commercially on request; that is a conversation, not a download.
