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"}],[49008211,{"by":"starfallg","descendants":239,"id":49008211,"kids":[49008445,49010031,49008848,49012101,49010128,49012415,49018008,49009915,49019280,49013309,49009788,49016333,49014665,49017300,49010256,49012022,49009451,49009811,49009967,49017282,49016505,49009325,49013043,49009407,49010386,49020677,49016706,49008664,49018800,49011702,49012331,49045329,49015316,49009790,49020243,49018017,49009354,49009110,49010040,49009114,49026614,49013647,49020902,49009551,49014100,49013307,49008617,49017108,49021378,49022980,49010177,49015498,49029134,49029238,49009853,49022879,49046552,49012533,49026685,49009850,49016731,49012975,49014292,49015300,49017341,49013767,49068121,49008841,49011895,49016721,49018271,49012402,49027634,49010198,49024467,49015100,49012257,49009819,49019575,49020118,49021326,49017871,49011628,49009393,49009384,49023317,49019613,49009252,49010260,49018988,49015610,49018711,49015908,49021111,49017829,49011074,49021148,49015526,49013541,49073401,49015731,49113199,49015002,49103167,49016450,49061972,49009431,49130020,49112861,49091878,49009194],"score":1033,"text":"$16","time":1784733563,"title":"Show HN: Bento - An entire PowerPoint in one HTML file (edit+view+data+collab)","type":"story","url":"https://bento.page/slides/"}],[49026810,{"by":"adam_rida","descendants":228,"id":49026810,"kids":[49032948,49030253,49029061,49027029,49026989,49027950,49029078,49028294,49028256,49036741,49031934,49028551,49030429,49027014,49027140,49027097,49030022,49031722,49027554,49030301,49031597,49037306,49032258,49029508,49036560,49027730,49044423,49031540,49031726,49030297,49036294,49031717,49027230,49029630,49028334,49032173,49027682,49031951,49027790,49030008,49027074,49029638,49029626,49027336,49027374,49027299,49032356,49027755,49054550,49028999,49027302,49029762,49027727,49028780,49027514,49031663,49028008,49031666,49030113,49061960,49033008,49058181,49030110,49043577,49033108,49045014,49033012,49030804,49027395],"score":484,"text":"$17","time":1784834761,"title":"Show HN: Echo – Fable-level results at 1/3 the cost using open-weight models","type":"story"}],[49007524,{"by":"gurjeet","descendants":126,"id":49007524,"kids":[49007737,49013045,49011882,49007796,49007881,49007934,49008548,49007791,49012812,49008256,49007956,49022479,49024555,49007980,49009035,49017018,49015661,49007915,49018625,49010776,49019340,49007789,49009579,49008630,49008640,49008178,49007817],"score":115,"time":1784730863,"title":"OpenNode – Bitcoin Payment Processor","type":"story","url":"https://opennode.com/"}],[48993059,{"by":"bryanmikaelian","descendants":163,"id":48993059,"kids":[48993931,48993353,48994373,48999034,48993375,48994042,48993888,48993771,48993406,48993634,48993827,48994013,48993882,48993458,48995177,48995053,48996114,48994192,48995664,48994193,48993484,48993581,48994915,48993610,48998483,48995303,48998000,48993504,48993787,48996007,48995975,48993657,49038169,48994429,48993245],"score":161,"time":1784645358,"title":"Claude Is Not a Compiler","type":"story","url":"https://blog.exe.dev/claude-is-not-a-compiler"}],[48963465,{"by":"denysvitali","descendants":200,"id":48963465,"kids":[48963988,48966462,48963749,48963517,48963574,48963595,48963777,48963533,48964476,48963514,48963500,48965608,48963832,48963625,48972049,48963509,48965857,48966127,48963652,48969145,48964398,48965541,48966331,48963840,48969991,48968970,48969995,48965986,48963660,48964448,48967633,48963668,48963661,48970612,48965113,48964263],"score":312,"time":1784417066,"title":"Codex Resets","type":"story","url":"https://codex-resets.com/"}],[48966713,{"by":"chipweinberger","descendants":257,"id":48966713,"kids":[48970190,48971373,48968136,48968152,48968462,48970042,48967790,48967511,48969320,48971904,48968392,48966774,48969164,48969123,48967449,48967747,48968163,48974605,48972332,48968062,48973425,48970241,48967589,48966820,48971592,48967677,48969516,48968780,48968089,48972491,48968495,48976277,48969065,48970174,48967649,48972208,48970229,48970620,48972794,48986195,48968533,48969517,48971047,48970602,48968240,48975890,48967904,48970375,48974353,48970778,48967682,48977731,48974074,48970543,48968650,48967636,48968510,48976315,48969049,48978101,48970047,48968172,48976506,48968120,48978317,48971162,48969116,48975935,48968245,48976665,48970110,48978404,48968662,48972909,48970096],"score":552,"time":1784457298,"title":"What I learned selling 2,500 MIDI recorders: Hardware is not so hard","type":"story","url":"https://chipweinberger.com/articles/20260719-hardware-is-not-so-hard"}],[48955898,{"by":"bunnybomb2","descendants":15,"id":48955898,"kids":[48956091,48956331,48955957,48958227,48964333,48959450,48959051,48962620,48959518],"score":5,"text":"Im feeling immense pressure .
