everyone is sleeping on this new JSON extraction model!

- open-weights
- matches Gemini Flash 3.5
- while being 3x faster

pulling structured data out of documents usually takes a chain of OCR, an LLM, and extra code to repair broken JSON.

lift, from @datalabto, does all of you give lift a PDF or image along with a JSON schema, and get back a JSON object that matches that schema.

the model reads every page of a document in one pass, so values that span multiple pages still come out right. any document you can describe in a schema works, from invoices to research papers.

here's what you get with lift:

- 90.2% field accuracy on 11,000 fields
- 9B model, nearly matches Gemini Flash 3.5 at 3x the speed
- built not to hallucinate; returns null if missing
- self-hostable with vLLM or Hugging Face

Replying to @akshay_pachaar
@akshay_pachaar @datalabto OCR + LLM + JSON repair chain is exactly the pipeline I keep rebuilding. What's the eval here, actual table/field extraction accuracy? 'matches Gemini Flash' on what set, with what schema complexity?
