Evaluating the multilingual capabilities of Large Vision-Language Models (LVLMs) remains challenging because most benchmarks rely on non-parallel corpora, making it unclear whether cross-lingual performance gaps reflect model limitations or dataset inconsistencies. To address this, we introduce PM4Bench, the first multimodal, multilingual, multi-task benchmark built on a strictly parallel 10-language corpus, enabling fair, apples-to-apples cross-lingual comparison of model performance. We further introduce a vision setting that embeds textual inputs directly into images, better approximating deployment scenarios where LVLM-driven agents interact with virtual or physical environments through unified visual observations. Experiments with 10 LVLMs reveal that OCR is a key factor behind cross-lingual disparity when textual content is rendered visually. Motivated by this, we design an OCR-centric GRPO training strategy using fully synthesized, label-free OCR data, without expensive task-specific VQA supervision. The resulting model improves general multilingual VQA capability, reduces cross-lingual disparities under the vision setting, and transfers gains beyond PM4Bench. This methodology offers an efficient, label-free pathway toward more equitable multilingual deployment of LVLM-driven agents.

We introduce MinerU2.5, a 1.2B-parameter document parsing vision-language model that achieves state-of-the-art recognition accuracy while maintaining exceptional computational efficiency. Our approach employs a coarse-to-fine, two-stage parsing strategy that decouples global layout analysis from local content recognition. In the first stage, the model performs efficient layout analysis on downsampled images to identify structural elements, circumventing the computational overhead of processing high-resolution inputs. In the second stage, guided by the global layout, it performs targeted content recognition on native-resolution crops extracted from the original image, preserving fine-grained details in dense text, complex formulas, and tables. To support this strategy, we developed a comprehensive data engine that generates diverse, large-scale training corpora for both pretraining and fine-tuning. Ultimately, MinerU2.5 demonstrates strong document parsing ability, achieving state-of-the-art performance on multiple benchmarks, surpassing both general-purpose and domain-specific models across various recognition tasks, while maintaining significantly lower computational overhead.
