+## PaddleOCR-VL-0.9B Usage with transformers
+
+Currently, we support inference using the PaddleOCR-VL-0.9B model with the `transformers` library, which can recognize texts, formulas, tables, and chart elements. In the future, we plan to support full document parsing inference with `transformers`. Below is a simple script we provide to support inference using the PaddleOCR-VL-0.9B model with `transformers`.
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> Note: We currently recommend using the official method for inference, as it is faster and supports page-level document parsing. The example code below only supports element-level recognition.
+
+```python
+from PIL import Image
+import torch
+from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoProcessor
+
+DEVICE = "cuda" if torch.cuda.is_available() else "cpu"
+
+CHOSEN_TASK = "ocr" # Options: 'ocr' | 'table' | 'chart' | 'formula'
+PROMPTS = {
+ "ocr": "OCR:",
+ "table": "Table Recognition:",
+ "formula": "Formula Recognition:",
+ "chart": "Chart Recognition:",
+}
+
+model_path = "PaddlePaddle/PaddleOCR-VL"
+image_path = "test.png"
+image = Image.open(image_path).convert("RGB")
+
+model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
+ model_path, trust_remote_code=True, torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16
+).to(DEVICE).eval()
+processor = AutoProcessor.from_pretrained(model_path, trust_remote_code=True)
+
+messages = [
+ {"role": "user",
+ "content": [
+ {"type": "image", "image": image},
+ {"type": "text", "text": PROMPTS[CHOSEN_TASK]},
+ ]
+ }
+]
+inputs = processor.apply_chat_template(
+ messages,
+ tokenize=True,
+ add_generation_prompt=True,
+ return_dict=True,
+ return_tensors="pt"
+).to(DEVICE)
+
+outputs = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=1024)
+outputs = processor.batch_decode(outputs, skip_special_tokens=True)[0]
