# Is MiniCPM-OCR Jev SOTA?

Pending benchmarks. Announced Oct 27, 2026; no independent results yet.

As of Nov 3, 2026, MiniCPM-OCR Jev is pending benchmarks on isitsota: announced Oct 27, 2026, with no independent results on the boards we track yet.

OpenBMB's OCR checking model. Given a text, formula or table region from a document and a candidate OCR result from any parser, it returns a score from 0 to 1 for how likely the result is correct, to auto-accept reliable regions, send the rest to human review, or pick among several OCR models. Open weights under Apache 2.0.
