Jina AI has released jina-ocr-v1, a visual document parser that converts PDFs, scans, tables, charts and invoices into Markdown. The model has 3.4B total parameters, with about 570M active per token, and builds on DeepSeek-OCR. A built-in FastMTP speculative decoding head drafts 3 tokens per step wh...

Everyone in the world-models space is sitting on a pile of cash and a ton of buzz, but good luck getting anyone — from the founders to their own data suppliers — to tell you what they're actually building.

Jev, a new kind of AI model, is showing developers a cheaper and faster path to software intelligence.
