DeepSeek has launched DeepSeek-OCR 2, its latest open-source image understanding model, introducing the DeepEncoder V2 architecture and a new “visual causal flow” approach.
Unlike traditional OCR systems, the model reasons about visual structure and relationships, allowing it to interpret complex layouts, charts, and documents more accurately. By open-sourcing the model and research paper, DeepSeek reinforces its strategy of competing globally through cost-efficient, high-performance AI.
The release strengthens China’s position in multimodal AI and signals growing maturity beyond text-only large language models.
