Stop Overpaying for OCR. You Can Run It for $1 per 1,000 Pages.
Everyone assumes serving advanced vision-language models is inherently expensive. It’s not. By properly utilizing GPUs with PaddleOCR-VL-1.6, you can process 1,000 pages for just $1, undercutting major OCR providers by 4x or more. The real moat in AI isn’t model accuracy anymore; it’s infrastructure cost optimization.
