Model card
GLM OCR is a specialized vision-language model designed to bridge the gap between raw image data and structured text. Unlike general-purpose OCR engines that often struggle with complex layouts or handwritten notes, this model leverages the GLM architecture to maintain spatial awareness and semantic context. For developers, this means higher accuracy in digitizing multi-column documents, tables, and mixed-media assets without requiring extensive pre-processing pipelines. It integrates easily into RAG workflows where document parsing is a bottleneck, offering a more robust alternative to traditional Tesseract-based solutions. Whether you are building automated invoice processing or digitizing archival records, GLM OCR provides the precision needed for downstream LLM consumption.
Model files and versions
Download this model
We recommend using the ModelScope CLI or SDK. Install ModelScope first, then choose a full snapshot, single file, SDK or Git LFS workflow.
zai-org/GLM-OCRInstall the CLI and SDK dependency before downloading.
pip install modelscopeDownload the complete weights, configuration and model card.
modelscope download --model zai-org/GLM-OCRREADME.md is used as an example; replace it with another repository file when needed.
modelscope download --model zai-org/GLM-OCR README.md --local_dir ./dirUseful in Python projects and automation scripts.
from modelscope import snapshot_download
model_dir = snapshot_download('zai-org/GLM-OCR')Make sure Git LFS is installed correctly.
git lfs install
git clone https://www.modelscope.cn/zai-org/GLM-OCR.gitFetch the repository structure first, then pull large files when needed.
