GOT OCR 2.0 is a focused specialist — it takes images containing text and converts them into readable output, handling a wide range of document types and layouts. It operates as an end-to-end OCR system, meaning it processes raw image input directly without needing a separate pipeline of tools. Its open-weight nature makes it inspectable and self-hostable, though its narrow input-to-output design means it won't engage in general conversation or reasoning tasks.
