LightOn Enhances Its Paradigm Platform with Real-Time Web Access Through a Strategic Partnership with Linkup 

Paris, June 12, 2026 - LightOn demonstrates the flexibility of LightOnOCR-2, its document understanding model, by 
adapting it to Arabic through fine-tuning. This extension is based on an internal synthetic data generation pipeline 
designed to cover languages that remain underrepresented in the OCR tools currently available on the market. 

This demonstration is based on a dataset comprising 12,000 synthetic pages and their reference transcriptions, produced 
using a modified version of LightOn's synthetic document generator. 

The corpus covers a wide range of document scenarios, including scanning artifacts, font variations, resolution levels, 
and document types. The output format remains the one used to train the bbox variant of LightOnOCR-2, with bounding box 
detection that associates text with its spatial location. 

Applying OCR to Arabic presents specific challenges. The script is written from right to left, characters are connected 
in cursive form, and open datasets, like specialized models, remain less widely available than for Latin-based 
languages. For organizations processing archives, administrative, legal, or heritage documents in Arabic, these 
limitations can slow the automation of document workflows. 

This demonstration is part of a broader effort to extend the model to a variety of domains, as reflected by its more 
than 3 million downloads and the fine-tunings already carried out by the community. It notably addresses needs 
encountered in the Middle East, where LightOn is already working with public- and private-sector organizations. This 
development is consistent with LightOn's positioning: providing enterprise-grade generative AI building blocks that are 
open, controllable, and tailored to sensitive environments. 

LightOn is making the guides needed to reproduce this fine-tuning available on its Hugging Face space, with the aim of 
making this approach accessible to as many users as possible and adaptable to other document contexts. 

LightOnOCR-2 is released as open source under the Apache 2.0 license. It plays a central role in the production 
document ingestion process within LightOn Console, LightOn's self-service offering. 
The open model and our production engine are therefore built on the same technological foundation. The base model 
achieves a score of 83.2% on OlmOCR-Bench.
