LightOn opens a new field for AI with LightOnOCR-2: Document Intelligence
Paris, January 19, 2026
LightOn integrates into Paradigm a technology that beats the world state of the art: LightOnOCR-2, capable of
uncovering and structuring the information buried in all enterprise documents, including the most complex. This is the
first of three phases "Bleu, Blanc, Rouge" that widen the gap between Paradigm and the rest of the market.
Until now, the most critical enterprise documents such as sensitive contracts, technical files, regulatory archives
have remained largely inaccessible to AI. Too complex, too sensitive, too voluminous. LightOn now makes it possible to
exploit them, wherever they already reside.
With one billion parameters, LightOnOCR-2 outperforms every competing model on the OlmOCR benchmark, including those
nine times its size. World's best model for document intelligence, LightOnOCR-2 is compact enough to be deployed
on-premise, where the documents are. Its end-to-end architecture replaces traditional OCR pipelines and enables
scaling.
The next phases will focus on large-scale document search (Blanc), then comprehension models (Rouge). Once combined,
these technologies will enable organizations to deploy state-of-the-art documentary AI, integrated into their systems
and fully sovereign, to make decisions grounded in all of their information.
"With LightOnOCR-2, we are reaching a key milestone in deploying sovereign documentary AI. Many European companies have
a vast information heritage that often remains untapped due to the lack of a solution adapted to complex or sensitive
data," added Igor Carron. "Our ambition is simple: enable them to fully leverage this wealth on their own
infrastructure, without compromising between performance and sovereignty. LightOnOCR-2 is only the first building block
of a broader effort to build the documentary AI infrastructure of tomorrow, meeting Europe's highest requirements."
