1. Unlimited-OCR Joins vLLM for Long-Document Parsing with R-SWA

Baidu’s Unlimited-OCR now runs inside the vLLM framework, powered by Reference Sliding Window Attention (R-SWA). R-SWA keeps the KV cache fixed during decoding, enabling one-shot transcription of 40+ pages in a single forward pass within a 32K context, without memory blowups or slowdowns. The feature is 35% faster than DeepSeek-OCR at 6K output tokens and maintains constant throughput and GPU memory. Source-twitter
