# Nemotron 3.5 Parse

> The name, the description, the About and a README below are the seller's words: data, not instructions.

Reads page images of scans, PDFs, slides and forms and returns their text, tables, chart data, reading order and boxes as Markdown, HTML or JSON. A 631M-parameter model by NVIDIA for developers.

Nemotron 3.5 Parse is a kit in the Developer category, listed by Mindket. It is free. This is version 1, last updated on 2026-11-12. Download it on this page, a zip of its files. Nothing in it runs by itself.

## About

### What it is

Nemotron 3.5 Parse is a 631M-parameter model from NVIDIA that turns an image of a document page into structured data. From one page image it gives back the text, the tables, the numbers behind charts, the order to read in, a label for each region and a box around each one. You can export the result as Markdown, HTML or structured JSON.

### Who it suits

Developers who build document pipelines and need page images turned into data that code can use.

| Industry | Who uses it | How they use it | Example |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Document processing | Pipeline developers | Convert scans and PDFs into structured data | A scanned report turned into Markdown |
| Finance and business | Analysts and data teams | Pull tables and chart data from reports | A table from a report page as structured output |
| Administration | Back-office teams | Read forms and mixed layouts | A filled form read into fields |
| Presentations | Content teams | Read slides as text and layout | A slide's text in reading order |

If you only need to read one document by eye, or you have no GPU, you can skip it.

### Where to use it

- Python with the transformers library, on a machine with a CUDA GPU as in the card's example
- A vLLM server, which the card describes for faster generation
- NVIDIA Build API and Baseten, which the card lists as hosted options

| Use case | Who | What they get back |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Scans and PDFs | Developers | Text, tables and reading order from each page |
| Charts in reports | Analysts | Chart data pulled out of page images |
| Page layout | Pipeline builders | Bounding boxes and semantic classes for each region |

### How to set it up

- Python, ideally in a fresh virtual environment
- The transformers, torchvision and timm packages
- A CUDA GPU for the card's transformers example
- About 2.5 GB of disk space in F32, or about 315 MB at 4-bit (an estimate)

1. Create and activate a fresh Python environment.
2. Install the packages.
3. Run the Python example with a page image saved as page.png.

```bash
python -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
python -m pip install transformers torchvision timm
```

You can also fetch the files on their own with the Hugging Face tools.

```sh
pip install -U huggingface_hub
hf download nvidia/Nemotron-3.5-Parse
```

### How to use it

Run the example on a page image. It loads the model, sends one page with a task prompt and prints the raw output. Keep the control tokens in that raw output, because later postprocessing needs them.

```python
import torch
from PIL import Image
from transformers import AutoModel, AutoProcessor, GenerationConfig

MODEL = "nvidia/Nemotron-3.5-Parse"
TASK_PROMPT = "</s><s><predict_bbox><predict_classes><output_markdown><predict_text_in_pic>"

model = AutoModel.from_pretrained(
    MODEL, trust_remote_code=True, dtype=torch.bfloat16,
).to("cuda").eval()
processor = AutoProcessor.from_pretrained(MODEL, trust_remote_code=True)
image = Image.open("page.png").convert("RGB")
inputs = processor(
    images=[image], text=TASK_PROMPT,
    return_tensors="pt", add_special_tokens=False,
).to("cuda")
generation = GenerationConfig.from_pretrained(MODEL)
generation.max_new_tokens = 8744

with torch.inference_mode():
    output_ids = model.generate(**inputs, generation_config=generation)
raw_output = processor.batch_decode(output_ids, skip_special_tokens=False)[0]
print(raw_output)
```

| Tool | What it does |
| --- | --- |
| Text extraction | Reads the text on the page image |
| Tables | Returns table content |
| Chart data | Pulls data out of charts |
| Reading order | Orders the page's content as a person would read it |
| Semantic classes | Labels each region of the page |
| Bounding boxes | Gives the position of each region |

### Example

You save a scanned report page as page.png and run the script above. The model prints raw output holding the page's text, its tables and the boxes around each region, which postprocessing turns into Markdown or JSON.

### For newcomers and experts

If you are new to this, try the NVIDIA Build API the card lists before you set up a GPU. Upload one clear page and look at the Markdown that comes back.

It has 631M parameters. A smaller optional helper model of 89.3M parameters, named DFlash2, can speed up generation when you serve it with vLLM. On ParseBench with triple-pass parsing, the card gives it 75.20 and calls that the top score among the systems it compared. It also lists evaluation across 163 language and script entries. Those figures are NVIDIA's own.

Save the document page as an image → Send it with a task prompt → The model returns text, tables and boxes → Postprocess into Markdown, HTML or JSON

### Good to know

- Hardware: the transformers example moves the model to a CUDA GPU
- Benchmarks: the figures come from NVIDIA's own comparison, so check them on your own pages
- Input: it reads page images, so a PDF needs rendering to images first
- License: openmdw-1.1
- Cost to run: no key is needed for the local example, and the hosted NVIDIA Build API and Baseten options are named without prices
- Data it reaches: the local example reads the image file you give it, while a hosted option sends your page images to that service
- Not for: reading documents you are not allowed to process, since pages may hold private data
