VDR-2B-Multilingual

Visual Document Retrieval Goes Multilingual

Hugging Face introduces VDR-2B-Multilingual, a 2-billion parameter vision-language model designed for visual document retrieval across multiple languages. The model enables retrieval of document images without OCR by embedding visual page representations directly. This extends prior visual document retrieval work to multilingual settings, broadening applicability for enterprise document search use cases.
