olmOCR, developed by the AllenNLP team at AI2, is a toolkit for training language models to process PDFs. It includes strategies for natural text parsing, evaluation tools, basic filtering, and fine-tuning codes. Installation requires a recent NVIDIA GPU and setting up dependencies. The toolkit supports single and multi-node processing, with the ability to read PDFs from AWS S3 and use beaker for efficient processing.
