PDF parsing is still painful because LLMs reorder text in complex layouts, break tables across pages, and fail on graphs or images. 💡Testing the new open-source OCRFlux model, and here the results are really good for a change. So OCRFlux is a multimodal, LLM based toolkit for converting PDFs and images into clean, readable, plain Markdown text. Because the underlying VLM is only 3B param, it runs even on a 3090 GPU. The model is available on Hugging Face . The engine that powers the OCRFlux, teaches the model to rebuild every page and then stitch fragments across pages into one clean Markdown file. It bundles one vision language model with 3B parameters that was fine-tuned from Qwen 2.5-VL-3B-Instruct for both page parsing and cross-page merging. OCRFlux reads raw page images and, guided by task prompts, outputs Markdown for each page and merges split elements across pages. The evaluation shows Edit Distance Similarity (EDS) 0.967 and cross‑page table Tree Edit Distance 0.950, so the parser is both accurate and layout aware. How it works while parsing each page - Convert into text with a natural reading order, even in the presence of multi-column layouts, figures, and insets - Support for complicated tables and equations - Automatically removes headers and footers Cross-page table/paragraph merging - Cross-page table merging - Cross-page paragraph merging A compact vision‑language models can beat bigger models once cross‑page context is added. 🧵 1/n Read on 👇

Today, we're excited to release the Heptabase CLI — a new way for external AI agents to interact with your local Heptabase knowledge base from the terminal. Once enabled (Settings > AI Features > CLI), any AI coding agent (e.g., Claude Code, Codex) can: - Create, read, and edit note cards and journals - Search your Card Library - Manage tags - Read your AI Tutor courses, lessons, and chat history This is just the first step; we'll keep expanding the CLI surface so AI agents can act on your knowledge at the same depth that you can. If you build something interesting with it, feel free to share with our community!

One of the hardest problems with using AI agents to automate meaningful document work (contracts, KYC, diligence, claims, and more) is not actually building the agent, but building the UI/UX audit trail so the human can understand decisions linking back to the source documents - in PDFs, Powerpoint, Word, etc. This requires really good layout detection and segmentation, that you need to surface as *metadata context* to the AI agent, beyond any document -> markdown conversion. We've built really-nice VLM-capabilities to identify and segment all the elements within your document: from tables to charts to form boxes. You can use this metadata to directly provide experiences where humans can analyze the source document even as decisions are being made. Come check out LlamaParse!

Everyone uploading PDFs to Claude is burning 70,000 tokens before asking a single question. A 20-page document costs between 1,500 to 3,000 tokens per page. Formatting. Broken tables. Images. Junk metadata. Claude processes all of it before you even type “summarize this.” There’s a free fix. It’s called Markitdown. Microsoft built it. 10,000+ GitHub stars. Almost nobody in the Claude community is talking about it. It converts any file PDFs, Word docs, Excel sheets, PowerPoints, YouTube videos into clean Markdown text. Token usage drops by up to 70%. Answers get better, not worse. Claude was trained on millions of Markdown documents. It reads the format natively. You’re not compressing quality you’re removing noise. There’s an MCP server too. Connect it to Claude Desktop once. Every file you upload auto-converts to .md before Claude touches it. You do nothing. It just works. Old way: upload PDF → Claude burns 70k tokens on junk → mediocre answer New way: Markitdown → clean .md → 70% fewer tokens → sharper answer The tool is free. The MCP setup takes 10 minutes. The token savings are permanent. You’ve been paying for Claude to read garbage. Stop.

LiteParse Samples 📄🧑‍🏫 LiteParse is our free and fast document parser that can parse text with bounding boxes from any document. I’ve created a new repository that contains some demos on how you can make use of its outputs! ✅ Comparison against PyPDF and PyMuPDF ✅ Visual Citations: search for any keyword and see joined bounding boxes pop up in the source images It should be a default tool to help AI agents OCR any document type (supports PDF, Word, Powerpoint + dozens of other formats), before heavier-weight VLM-based document parsing solutions (like our own LlamaParse). LiteParse Samples repo: LiteParse:

Got the vibe but not the words? Starting today, you can simply show or tell AI Mode about what you're looking for and get rich, visual results to explore. ✨ This experience works by bringing together Search’s world-class visual understanding from Lens and Image search with Gemini 2.5’s advanced multimodal capabilities. When you show AI Mode what you’re searching for it uses our new “visual search fan-out” technique to get a deeper understanding of what’s in an image (including subtle details and secondary objects), and runs multiple queries in the background. This helps it understand the visual context and nuance of your request to deliver relevant visual responses. You can also tell AI Mode what vibe you’re going for (no image needed). For example, ask AI Mode for bedroom design inspo and go back and forth to refine your vision. We’re rolling out this experience in English in the U.S. starting this week. Try it out and let us know what you think!

Introducing LiteParse - the best model-free document parsing tool for AI agents 💫 ✅ It’s completely open-source and free. ✅ No GPU required, will process ~500 pages in 2 seconds on commodity hardware ✅ More accurate than PyPDF, PyMuPDF, Markdown. Also way more readable - see below for how we parse tables!! ✅ Supports 50+ file formats, from PDFs to Office docs to images ✅ Is designed to plug and play with Claude Code, OpenClaw, and any other AI agent with a one-line skills install. Supports native screenshotting capabilities. We spent years building up LlamaParse by orchestrating state-of-the-art VLMs over the most complex documents. Along the way we realized that you could get quite far on most docs through fast and cheap text parsing. Take a look at the video below. For really complex tables within PDFs, we output them in a spatial grid that’s both AI and human-interpretable. Any other free/light parser light PyPDF will destroy the representation of this table and output a sequential list. This is not a replacement for a VLM-based OCR tool (it requires 0 GPUs and doesn’t use models), but it is shocking how good it is to parse most documents. Huge shoutout to Logan Markewich and Clelia Bertelli (🦙/acc) for all the work here. Come check it out: Repo:

"What would browser APIs for AI look like?" Here's a preview of Chrome's latest experiments integrating AI directly in the browser using Gemini Nano. The team has been working hard to bring the power of on-device AI models to developers via (experimental) new Web APIs. These include: ✍️ Writing new content (Writer API) ♻️ Rewriting existing text (Rewriter API) 📚 Summarizing information (Summarizer API) 🗣️ Translation (Translation API - coming soon) What sets this apart is the speed and privacy - you'll notice remarkably quick responses, all happening right in your browser thanks to the small language model being local. The initial exploration revolved around the Prompt API, allowing users to broadly interact with an AI model similarly to chat interfaces you might be familiar with. In the demo video I've recorded, you can see these features in action - from generating a post about a trip to rewriting content in different styles and lengths, and even translating text into various languages. Many of these experiments can be enabled through Chrome flags. We're excited to see what you build with the experimental APIs. Do feel free to pass along feedback to Kenji Baheux Domenic Denicola and André Bandarra

Our first Generative AI short course in JavaScript! GitHub recently reported that JavaScript is again the world’s most popular programming language. To support web developers exploring and developing with generative AI, we just launched a new short course in JavaScript taught by Jacob Lee, founding engineer at . In Build LLM Apps with LangChain.js you’ll learn elements common in AI development, including: (i) Using data loaders to pull data from common sources such as PDFs, websites, and databases (ii) Prompts, which are used to provide the LLM context (iii) Modules to support RAG such as text splitters and integrations with vector stores (iv) Working with different models to write applications that are not vendor-specific (v) Parsers, which extract and format the output for your downstream code to process You’ll also build with the LangChain Expression Language, which lets you easily compose sequences (also called chains) of modules to perform complex tasks using LLMs. Putting all this together, you’ll also work on a conversational question-answering LLM application capable of using external data as context.
