I wonder why you chose Qwen specifically - Mistral has a specialized model just for OCR that they advertised heavily (I tested it and it works surprisingly well, at least on English-language books from 80s and 90s).

Mistral's model was terrible when I tested it on non Latin characters and on anything that isn't neat printed text (i.e. handwriting)
