Introducing Gliese-OCR-7B-Post1.0, a document content-structure retrieval VLM designed for content extraction(OCRs) and summarization. This is the third model in the Camel Doc OCR VLM series, following Camel-Doc-OCR-062825. The new version fixes formal table reconstruction issues in both En and Zh, achieving optimal performance for long-context inferences. This model also shows significant improvements in LaTeX and Markdown rendering for OCR tasks.
We desperately need GPU for model inference. CPU can't replace GPU.
I will start with the basics. GPU is designed to serve predictable workloads with many parallel units (pixels, tensors, tokens). So a GPU allocates as much transistor budget as possible to build thousands of compute units (Cuda cores in NVidia or execution units in Apple Silicon), each capable of running a thread.
But CPU is designed to handle all kinds of workloads. CPU cores are much larger (hence a lot fewer) with branch prediction and other complex things. In addition, more and more transistors are allocated to build larger cache (~50% now) to house the unpredictable, devouring the compute budget.
