We do a lot of document processing, and PaddleOCR-VL-1.6 is one of the best open models we've used. We wanted to use it as an api, but couldn't find anyone hosting it. so we started hosting it ourselves, but to get full utilization on the GPUs, we decided to let others use it as well.If we did the pricing math right (which I hope we did), it should be the cheapest OCR there is, at just $0.001/page. Let us know if you find it useful
