DeepSeek released a new OCR model built for document understanding and long-context reasoning. It’s a 3B parameter vision model that uses context optical compression to convert 2D document layouts into compact vision tokens instead of thousands of text tokens. This lets it handle tables, forms, and handwriting while using up to 10x fewer tokens than text-based models.

AI Tutorial
🔎 Use AI to find patents and innovation opportunities
In this tutorial, you will learn how to use Perplexity's AI-powered search to quickly find patents, analyze innovation gaps, and position your invention without infringement risk.
Step-by-step:
Go to Perplexity and search naturally: "Are there any patents related to AI automations?" - Perplexity automatically activates Patent Research (beta), showing relevant filings, owners, and dates
Refine with conversational queries: "Find active patents for AI-driven industrial automation and model drift detection", then follow up with "Summarize main claims" or "Show whitespace in this field"
Toggle on Agent Mode for advanced analysis - the AI automatically retrieves patents from multiple jurisdictions, creates tables, and builds visualization charts (showing "12 steps completed")
Review generated PNG charts showing patent clusters and risk zones, plus CSV files with patent IDs, titles, owners, and claims - identify which companies dominate and where opportunities exist
Use results to inform product design by identifying saturated areas to avoid, high-opportunity/low-risk zones for innovation, and specific technologies or claims requiring caution
