When PaddleOCR-VL-1.6 dropped, independent benchmarks put it at the top of document parsing models. I had to try it. I needed a provider, but there simply isn't one ready for production that I would trust.

So i set one up myself. I assumed that even after getting it running, serving a vision-language model would be expensive.

It turns out the opposite is true. Once I had it running properly, the cost was absurdly low. At proper GPU utilization, the cost is only around $1 per 1,000 pages.

The nearest competitors are either much lower quality (Azure Read) or absurdly expensive (Extend or Reducto). Even Mistral OCR 4 which is really good and pretty cheap is still 4x more expensive.

So I had to share it. I made the endpoitns public, and vibe-coded a simple dashboard.

Let me know what you think!","time":1784925669,"title":"Show HN: Open-weight OCR got so cheap I had to share it","type":"story","url":"https://www.openparser.dev/cheapest-ocr"}],[48096760,{"by":"Eswo","descendants":72,"id":48096760,"kids":[48127888,48127992,48130516,48127825,48129559,48129496,48129400,48134058,48135763,48134098,48128666,48134105,48134348,48130088,48130150,48136442,48129782,48129238,48131507,48133260,48135085,48133459,48132058,48127982,48129123,48136889,48136882,48128212,48131158],"score":227,"time":1778515219,"title":"Chess puzzle I found in my dad's old book","type":"story","url":"https://ardoedo.it/kempelen/"}],[46976911,{"by":"bsimpson","descendants":304,"id":46976911,"kids":[46977785,46977718,46978923,46977838,46977778,46978876,46978617,46982564,46978730,46986353,46978927,46977704,46980837,46986275,46978193,46983745,46977910,46979578,46988399,46981365,46981881,46985542,46988717,46987968,46979501,46981682,46984023,46981571,46989957,46980389,46980900],"score":536,"text":"https://fosdem.org/2026/schedule/event/7ZJJWW-fluorite-game-...","time":1770826870,"title":"Fluorite – A console-grade game engine fully integrated with Flutter","type":"story","url":"https://fluorite.game/"}],[46287722,{"by":"haneboxx","descendants":15,"id":46287722,"kids":[46343557,46344116,46348020,46344537,46343339,46345042,46343870,46343514],"score":34,"text":"Hi!
