NVIDIA Nemotron Parse 2.0 Overview

Description:

NVIDIA Nemotron Parse 2.0 transforms document images into structured, machine-readable representations with text, layout classes, bounding boxes, and reading-order information. Given a Red, Green, Blue (RGB) document image and a task prompt, the model produces formatted text and spatial annotations for document elements such as titles, paragraphs, captions, tables, charts, page headers, page footers, footnotes, pictures, and bibliography entries. Compared with NVIDIA Nemotron Parse v1.2, NVIDIA Nemotron Parse 2.0 adds an approximately 20k-token vocabulary expansion for more efficient multilingual support, chart-aware document parsing with the <class_Chart> class token, and updated training coverage for chart/table-heavy documents and stronger support for many languages. NVIDIA Nemotron Parse 2.0 is intended for document understanding, information retrieval, data extraction, and multimodal data-curation workflows.
NVIDIA Nemotron Parse 2.0 was developed by NVIDIA as a part of Nemotron.
This model is ready for commercial or non-commercial use.

License/Terms of Use:

GOVERNING TERMS: Use of this trial service is governed by the NVIDIA API Trial Terms of Service. Use of the model is governed by the OpenMDW License Agreement, version 1.1.

Deployment Geography:

Global

Use Case:

NVIDIA Nemotron Parse 2.0 is designed for developers and teams building document intelligence, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), curator, extractor, and agentic AI applications. It converts scanned or rendered PDFs, presentation slides, forms, reports, tables, and mixed-content document pages into structured outputs for downstream indexing, retrieval, analytics, model training-data creation, and human-in-the-loop review. The model supports document understanding, OCR, layout parsing, table extraction, and text extraction with spatial grounding.

Our AI models are designed and/or optimized to run on NVIDIA GPU-accelerated systems. By leveraging NVIDIA's hardware (e.g. GPU cores) and software frameworks (e.g., CUDA libraries), the model achieves faster training and inference times compared to CPU-only solutions.

Software Integration:

Runtime Engine(s):

• Transformers
• vLLM

Supported Hardware Microarchitecture Compatibility:

• NVIDIA Ampere
• NVIDIA Blackwell
• NVIDIA Hopper
• NVIDIA Turing

Supported Operating System(s): Linux

The integration of foundation and fine-tuned models into AI systems requires additional testing using use-case-specific data to ensure safe and effective deployment. Following the V-model methodology, iterative testing and validation at both unit and system levels are essential to mitigate risks, meet technical and functional requirements, and ensure compliance with safety and ethical standards before deployment.

This AI model can be embedded as an Application Programming Interface (API) call into the software environment described above.

Model Version(s):

NVIDIA Nemotron Parse 2.0

Integration requires Transformers or vLLM frameworks and runs on Linux with NVIDIA Ampere, NVIDIA Blackwell, NVIDIA Hopper, or NVIDIA Turing GPUs.

Training, Testing, and Evaluation Datasets:

Training Dataset:

Labeling Method by dataset: Hybrid: Automated/Manually-Labelled/Synthetic
Properties (Quantity, Dataset Descriptions, Sensor(s)): The training set contains millions of image-text items aggregated from large document, table, and layout datasets. It consists of document-page and table images paired with OCR text, bounding boxes, and layout labels. Sources include rendered digital documents, scientific papers, PDFs, Wikipedia-style pages, and synthetic document, table, word, and character renderings. Annotations are derived from OCR and layout models, third-party OCR services, synthetic-generation pipelines, and human labeling.

Testing Dataset:

Data Collection Method by dataset: Hybrid: Automated/Manually-Collected/Synthetic
Labeling Method by dataset: Hybrid: Automated/Manually-Labelled/Synthetic

Evaluation Dataset:

Benchmark Score: See benchmark table below.

Benchmark coverage:

• ParseBench evaluates document parsing across text fidelity, semantic formatting, tables, charts, and visual grounding with layout boxes/classes.
• IndicVisionBench evaluates OCR quality for Indic-language pages, including Bengali, Gujarati, Hindi, Kannada, Malayalam, Marathi, Odia, Punjabi, Tamil, and Telugu.
• MOSCAR evaluates multilingual synthetic OCR across broad script coverage, including Latin, Arabic, Cyrillic, Chinese, Hangul, Japanese, Indic scripts, Hebrew, Thai, Greek, and others.
• OmniDocBench Notes (Handwriting) evaluates text-block edit distance on note-style document pages from the data_source: note slice.

The following results compare NVIDIA Nemotron Parse 2.0 with NVIDIA Nemotron Parse v1.2 on internal and public evaluation benchmarks. NVIDIA Nemotron Parse 2.0 results use the equal-weight checkpoint soup from training checkpoints 58k, 60k, 62k, 64k, and 66k. Unless marked otherwise, metrics are higher-is-better; arrows indicate the direction of the 2.0 change relative to v1.2.
