Nanonets OCR

Nanonets
restricted / Overall score: 2.8

Document-parsing models from Nanonets released as open weights alongside the company's hosted intelligent-document-processing platform. The models convert documents to structured markdown, recognising tables, equations, signatures, checkboxes and watermarks as tagged elements rather than flattening them into text.

Nanonets publishes the weights on Hugging Face without a gate, but the model card declares no license, and no training data or training code accompany the release. With no license there is nothing that permits using the weights, so the release scores 2, above closed weights and below any licensed open-weight model.

  • https://huggingface.co/api/models/nanonets/Nanonets-OCR2-3B recorded 2026-09-16

    Hugging Face model API record for nanonets/Nanonets-OCR2-3B: 38,340 downloads in the trailing 30 days, 516 likes, weights downloadable, and NO license field in cardData. Establishes that the weights are open, that no licence is declared where the platform expects one, and that no training data or code accompanies the release.

Adoption

2 high confidence
2.0

Adoption is measured as Hugging Face downloads of the Nanonets-OCR2-3B checkpoint over the trailing month, the only usage signal the release has. That reflects interest in the open-weight model rather than use of the hosted platform Nanonets sells alongside it.

Capability

4 medium confidence
4.0

Nanonets OCR preserves document structure further than most peers: signatures, checkboxes and watermarks come out as tagged elements instead of flattened text, matching Chandra's output. What it lacks is customer-configurable entity types; its tags are a fixed set the model defines, not a schema a customer can set.
