    onprem unstructured data extraction with 4 lines of code2025 · github.com · ▲8

    The traditional pipeline for unstructured data extraction typically follows these steps: 1. Image → OCR Model (e.g., Google Vision) → Layout Model (e.g. Surya) → LLM → Final Answer However, this can be streamlined using a Vision-Language Model (VLM): 2. Image → VLM → Final Answer Recently VLMs have improved a lot for OCR and document understanding tasks, specifically the Qwen-2.5-VL series. We can run the Qwen-2.5-VL-7B-AWQ model locally with just 16GB VRAM, and perform end-to-end information extraction (fields and table extraction) without any external models. Hallucination with VLMs One…

  • I trained a 125M model to autocomplete piano on-device▲598

    I trained a 125M-parameter transformer to autocomplete piano performances in real time (~108 notes/sec on an iPhone 15). The idea is basically GitHub Copilot or Tabnine, except instead of prompting it with code, you prompt it by playing a few notes on a MIDI piano. The model then continues what you played, entirely on-device. The app is free if anyone wants to try it. Happy to answer questions about the model, training, Core ML, or the many things that didn't work.

  • Needle2: 14MB agentic LLM for phones, wearables, smart home and robots▲537

    Hey HN, Henry from Cactus here! We previously released Cactus Needle, a 14MB agentic LLM for tool call, device use, and structured extraction for phones, wearables, smart homes, small robots and microcontrollers. We got really great feedback here, and have now incorporated the suggestions to release Needle 2. The whole model is a single 14MB binary that runs a full session in 28MB of RAM; 45m parameters at 2bit compression. Needle hits 500 tokens/sec decode speed on a Raspberry Pi 5, sits between 400-1,500 tokens/sec on VR devices like Meta Quest 3S and Apple Vision Pro, and ranges…
