Published benchmark results

These scores were compiled from the linked sources. These published scores were not independently tested here. Different prompts, precision, thinking budgets and tools can change results.

olmOCR-Bench · LightOnOCR-3

85.5 / 100

Publisher-reported olmOCR-Bench score for LightOnOCR-3 with output post-processing. Specialist document-understanding benchmark; not a general intelligence or speed test.

Benchmark efficiency: 161.535 published score points per GB of selected weights. This ratio is not an inference-speed measure; check the test settings to see whether the score covers the selected quantization.

Test settings: LightOn publisher evaluation of the official BF16 source checkpoint on olmOCR-Bench. The displayed score uses output post-processing; the official page does not disclose evaluation hardware or a pinned evaluator revision.

Publisher-run source-checkpoint result, not an independent evaluation and not a benchmark of the selected Q4_K_M file. Local image inference also needs one separate projector: Q8_0 at 115,923,776 bytes or F16 at 204,987,200 bytes. The 529,297,952-byte Q4 language-weight file excludes the projector, runtime, image tensors and context memory and does not establish device speed or compatibility. The official model supports empty-prompt transcription and `grounding`; other instructions are out of distribution.

Memory and comparison limits

Context and version evidence: The repository and file name identify the selected model. Revision hashes are shown above when recorded. Tested context length, full hardware configuration and run date are not consistently recorded in this snapshot. Only settings explicitly stated in each benchmark record are known.

The 0.529 GB figure covers model weights in this file. It excludes the context cache, runtime, operating system and any separate multimodal files. It is not a measured RAM requirement or a token-generation speed.

Use the model ranking chart to compare one test at a time. Use the 8, 16 and 32 GB memory guide. Check hardware memory and bandwidth before choosing a model.
