PaddlePaddle/PaddleOCR
Turn any PDF or image document into structured data for your AI. A powerful, lightweight OCR toolkit that bridges the gap between images/PDFs and LLMs. Supports 100+ languages.
About the project
OCR toolkit and document AI engine that turns PDFs and images into structured, LLM-ready data (JSON/Markdown), with support for 100+ languages, tables, formulas and seals.
Useful for
- OCR scanned invoices and export tables to Markdown for a RAG pipeline
- Extract text from PDFs in 50 languages with a single unified PP-OCRv6 model
- Deploy PaddleOCR on CPU or GPU for batch document processing on a server

Star trust
Growth looks organic: forks and discussion are in line with active projects, and stars arrive unevenly, the way people give them.
These are heuristics, not a verdict: we judge by the repository’s behavior, not by a list of stargazers.

TheoLeeCJ/SemIf
An open reproduction of the Jev-style semantic decision interface: reads typed option probabilities directly from a 4B model's logits without generating text. Runs on a single RTX 3090.

vinnylarouge/jevlike
A small trainable model that picks one option from a changing list of text options in a single forward pass, an open alternative to TypeSafe's Jev. Aimed at developers who need fast classification or menu selection…

Continuum-AI-Corp/OrcaBonsai-27B-Uncensored
A tool for runtime refusal ablation in the compressed Ternary Bonsai 2 27B LLM: it projects the residual stream to remove the refusal direction without modifying or re-quantizing weights. Runs on Apple Silicon via MLX.
-
6.4
TianyuCodings/NanoJev
A nano replica of Jev built on Qwen3-0.6B that outputs probability distributions over candidates in a single forward pass with no token decoding, plus a training pipeline and game demos (maze, Snake).

6.3
zhengkid/Dream-RSI
Research project on recursive self-improvement: past discovery histories become a replay simulator used to evaluate and refine exploration policies. Code is still being prepared; paper and demo are available.

ekzhang/openjev-sglang
HTTP server implementing the TypeSafe/Jev API for structured text classification on Qwen3.6-35B-A3B via SGLang; returns answer probabilities without generating a chain of thought.
