Overview

DeepSeek-OCR-2 is a 3B-parameter vision-language model that reimagines OCR through semantic reasoning rather than traditional top-to-bottom scanning. Its DeepEncoder V2 uses a Causal Visual Flow architecture that dynamically reorders image segments based on semantic understanding, compressing high-resolution documents into just 256-1,120 visual tokens while maintaining near-lossless text and layout fidelity.

On Mixpeek, DeepSeek-OCR-2 is the state-of-the-art choice for document parsing, outperforming larger models on complex layouts, tables, and mixed text-structure documents across 100+ languages. It excels where traditional OCR models struggle: multi-column layouts, nested tables, and documents with interspersed diagrams.

Architecture

DeepEncoder V2 with Causal Visual Flow architecture replacing rigid top-to-bottom scanning with semantics-aware segment reordering. Vision tokenizer follows SAM design with 80M parameters plus a convolutional layer. 3B-parameter mixture-of-experts decoder for text, layout, and diagram understanding.

Mixpeek SDK Integration

import { Mixpeek } from "mixpeek";

const mx = new Mixpeek({ apiKey: "API_KEY" });

// Managed: create a collection over a bucket; Mixpeek runs this model's extractor
const collection = await mx.collections.create({
  namespace_id: "my-namespace",
  collection_name: "my-collection",
  source: { type: "bucket", bucket_ids: ["bkt_your_bucket"] },
  feature_extractor: {
    feature_extractor_name: "ocr",
    version: "v1",
    parameters: { model_id: "deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-OCR-2" },
  },
});
