VLM Run Gateway: Run open-weight OCR, VLM and vision models behind one API
Blog post from Hugging Face
VLM Run Gateway is an alpha-stage unified API and command-line tool for running open-weight OCR models, vision-language models, and ViT-based vision models through a single interface. Created in response to production challenges such as inconsistent quantization, variable video support, document-processing pipelines, and serving configurations that can affect visual accuracy, it aims to provide more reliable visual inference while handling runtime, PDF rasterization, parallel page processing, retries, and rate limits. Users can compare models including GLM-OCR, DeepSeek-OCR-2, PaddleOCR, Qwen, Gemma, and dots.mocr by changing the model name, with support for PDFs, images, and videos. The service is currently free to use without sign-up and is available through the vlmrun package or uvx commands.
