What the current evidence supports

Human editorial judgment · 2026-08-20

Adopt with guardrails

Why
Apache-2.0, a full size ladder, a mature ecosystem (4.2M Ollama downloads, OpenRouter availability, a 64-author technical report) and strong perception/agent results — corroborated by the independent OmniDocBench leaderboard (89.78 overall) — make it the lowest-risk, most flexible VLM of the three; only caveats are benchmark transparency and extreme-context claims.
Next
Pilot a small/mid variant (8B or 30B-A3B) for document/chart/OCR + GUI-agent tasks via a hosted endpoint, validate on our own data given the modified-prompt caveat, then decide on self-hosting.
