Xiaomi-OCR-0 Technical Report

arXiv:2609.36136v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Compact OCR-specific vision-language models achieve strong document parsing performance, but often rely on costly supervision and focus primarily on visual-text reconstruction. We introduce Xiaomi-OCR-0, a unified 0.8B model for document parsing and OCR-centric understanding. We build an approximately 170M-sample OCR-centric corpus using an automated data engine that combines expert consensus, render-based verification, and targeted synthesis. Starting from Qwen3.5-0.8B, our progressive training recipe combines Q-Mask-based text anchoring, continued pretraining, and mixed-task reinforcement learning (Mix-RL). Xiaomi-OCR-0 achieves 95.24 on Real5-OmniDocBench, 96.83 on OmniDocBench v1.6, and 87.94 on Wild-OmniDocBench, while reaching an average score of 83.2 across five OCR-oriented VQA benchmarks. Ablations further show that, with sufficient parsing training, OCR-centric understanding supervision provides additional gains for document parsing.
