• This article presents the evidence and the mechanism behind that advantage.
• Three months ago, we published a paper on DharmaOCR and open-sourced one of the models .
• The objective was specific: optical character recognition engineered for Brazilian Portuguese.
• The training pipeline was built in two stages.
• The first was a supervised fine-tuning step, drawing on a broad collection of Portuguese-language files from different sources, formats, and levels of complexity.
