Datalab Marker v2 vs MinerU, Docling, and Liteparse: Benchmark Breakdown
MarkTechPost Asif Razzaq
Datalab released Marker 2, a rebuilt document conversion tool that converts PDFs and other formats to markdown or JSON. On the olmOCR-bench from Allen AI, Marker 2's balanced mode scored 76.0% overall with 2.9 pages per second on a B200 GPU, outperforming MinerU (72.7% at 0.54 pg/s) and Docling (50.3% at 2.1 pg/s). The tool now offers three conversion modes—balanced for accuracy, fast for speed, and CPU-only—with licensing that requires paid commercial licenses above $5M in funding or revenue.
Why it matters
Datalab rewrote Marker as a three-mode pipeline. Version 2 hits 76.0 on olmOCR-bench and sustains 2.9 pages per second on one B200 — over 5× MinerU's pipeline backend, while beating Docling on both accuracy and speed. Here's how it compares against MinerU, Docling and LiteParse, and which one fits your use case.
