Providus AI

We build document AI that runs where your documents live: on your own servers or in our cloud. Our open models read document pages (text, headings, tables and charts) and turn them into clean Markdown.

providus-vl-mini

An open-weight document parsing model, a fine-tune of MinerU2.5-Pro by OpenDataLab (Apache-2.0).

• 78.96 ± 0.04 on ParseBench (mean of 4 full runs). On ParseBench's leaderboard (b9ba246, 2026-10-12) it would place first among open-weight models.
• Zero per-page fees: providus-vl-mini is free to use under Apache-2.0. Your only cost is your own hardware.

Repo	What it is
providus-vl-mini	The full model, for vLLM on a GPU server (access approved automatically)
providus-vl-mini-GGUF	One file for LM Studio, llama.cpp and Ollama (open, no login)
providus-parse-tools	The pipeline that turns pages into Markdown (pip install providus-parse-tools)

Try it on your laptop (LM Studio)
