QZhou-Flowchart-VL

It reads a flowchart from an image and first writes out its structure as JSON - blocks, links and branching conditions - and only then answers a question about the chart. The parse still has to be checked against the original.

Frequently asked questions

Can QZhou-Flowchart-VL be used in a commercial project?

Yes. License: Apache 2.0. It allows commercial use, but it is still worth having a lawyer review the license before launch.

What hardware does QZhou-Flowchart-VL need?

At minimum: One GPU with 16–80 GB — mid-size versions. Without a GPU the model is not practical. You can calculate the exact VRAM for your model size and context in the hardware calculator.

Does QZhou-Flowchart-VL support Russian?

No. The developer documentation lists the supported languages and Russian is not among them.

Where can I download QZhou-Flowchart-VL and what does it cost?

The QZhou-Flowchart-VL weights are open and free to download. You only pay for the hardware it runs on and for the setup. Source links are at the bottom of this page.
