# PaddleOCR vs hindsight

PaddleOCR and hindsight share 8 technologies: FastAPI, uvicorn, AIOHTTP, MCP, LangChain, pillow, Pydantic, and js-yaml. PaddleOCR is written in C++ and hindsight in Python.

- [PaddlePaddle/PaddleOCR](https://seerepo.com/r/PaddlePaddle/PaddleOCR): Turn any PDF or image document into structured data for your AI. A powerful, lightweight OCR toolkit that bridges the gap between images/PDFs and LLMs. Supports 100+ languages.
- [vectorize-io/hindsight](https://seerepo.com/r/vectorize-io/hindsight): Hindsight: Agent Memory That Learns

## What they share and what sets them apart

- In common: FastAPI, uvicorn, AIOHTTP, MCP, LangChain, pillow, Pydantic, js-yaml
- Only in PaddleOCR: Jetpack Compose, core-ktx, lifecycle-runtime-ktx, fonttools, appcompat, constraintlayout, ui-graphics, ONNX, onnxruntime, sentencepiece, opencv-python, coil-compose, pypandoc, python-docx, puremagic, beautifulsoup4
- Only in hindsight: pgvector, psycopg2-binary, Postgres, Claude, Google, OpenAI, fastmcp, Tokio, Next.js, React, Preact, Rich, crossterm, indicatif, Ratatui, SQLAlchemy, alembic, cryptography, pyjwt, einops, Haystack, openai-agents, pydantic-ai-slim, strands-agents, litellm, torch, CrewAI, google-adk, llama-index-core, autogen-core, validator.v2, opentelemetry-api, opentelemetry-semantic-conventions, OpenTelemetry, opentelemetry-exporter-otlp-proto-http, opentelemetry-instrumentation-fastapi, Tailwind CSS, class-variance-authority, @tailwindcss/postcss, PostCSS, next-themes, tailwind-merge, sonner, Radix UI, react18-json-view, recharts, cmdk, Lucide, react-markdown, remark-gfm, ai, Zod, @opencode-ai/plugin, @clack/prompts

## Side by side

| | PaddleOCR | hindsight |
|---|---|---|
| Size | 153,989 lines written, 706 code files | 749,226 lines written, 1,156 code files |
| Who writes it | 0.3% of its commits signed by AI. With Claude Code, Cursor, and GitHub Copilot | 6.8% of its commits signed by AI. With Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, and GitHub Copilot |
| Activity | Last push September 16, 2026, 5,137 commits, 92,256 stars | Last push November 5, 2026, 4,037 commits, 58,979 stars |
| Tests | 105 test files. 11% of its code files have a test that imports them | 1,333 test files. 30.2% of its code files have a test that imports them |

- Size: Lines written by people and agents, without generated ones; code files, without tests.
- Who writes it: A commit counts as AI's when it carries its signature: a Co-Authored-By line, its author name or the merge of its branch.
- Activity: From GitHub and its history, on the day SeeRepo read it.
- Tests: The files that test the code, and the share of code files a test imports.
