Opus 4.7 토큰 테스트 토크나이저 차이로 제미나이의 2배를 사용합니다. Opus 4.6 대비해서도 50% 많이 사용해요. 이건 사실상 같은 한도에서 모델이 50% 더 비싸진겁니다.
Community note
Ratio = 5,657 / 4,262 ≈ 1.327 → ~33% more tokens (not 50%). x.com/midego1/status…

Maybe Claude code open sourced its codebase because it cannot figure out all the bugs related to high token usage and open sourcing it is more efficient. 🚀

"When a metric becomes the target, it stops being a good metric" - Goodharts Law last few days GLM-OCR has been trending after it claimed 95% on OmniDocBench, which is higher than Gemini-3-pro in reality GLM-OCR is way worse than the story these benchmarks paint, lets see how full disclaimer: ive been working in this space for the last 7 years with @nanonets
🚨BREAKING: A dev just open-sourced the #1 ranked OCR model on Earth. It's called GLM-OCR and it just hit 94.62 on OmniDocBench V1.5, beating every OCR model in existence. Only 0.9B parameters. One pip install. Handles documents no other model could touch. 100% Open Source.

A tiny phishing trick broke 5 out of 8 popular OCR models (Deepseek-OCR, Gemini-2.5Pro, PaddleOCR, etc) Can you spot the phish in the screenshot? If you use OCR/Markdown pipelines in prod, check out the results in the thread. 1/n
open-source OCR models are super cheap to run and privacy first 🤝 BUT there's a ton of new models out there: DeepSeek-OCR, Nanonets, PaddleOCR, how do you pick them? 🤯 don't worry though, @huggingface got you covered! 🫡🧶

Introducing Nanonets-OCR2: a lightweight 3B VLM that transforms documents into clean, structured Markdown and is capable of VQA. We have trained the model on close to 3 million documents. It is multi-lingual and can handle handwritten documents.

After 1M+ downloads of their previous model, @nanonets is launching Nanonets-OCR2, a next-gen suite for image-to-markdown conversion & visual QA. From LaTeX math & tables → mermaid charts, signatures → watermarks. It handles it all. huggingface.co/nanonets/Nano…

We're working on hosting the Nanonets-OCR-s — you'll soon be able to run it directly using DocStrange with just a free API key!
Your LLMs are hungry for data, but documents are messy 😩. DocStrange is the answer! Our open-source solution turns any document into clean, LLM-ready data with one command. Give your models what they need. 🔗 github.com/NanoNets/docstran… 🔗 pypi.org/project/docstrange/

We're excited to share Nanonets-OCR-s, a powerful and lightweight (3B) VLM model that converts documents into clean, structured Markdown. This model is trained to understand document structure and content context, like tables, equations, images, plots, watermarks, checkboxes, etc
