lift

What it does

Pass a schema and a PDF or image, and a 9B vision model returns a matching JSON object, with schema-constrained decoding so the structure is always valid — useful where the alternative is retyping invoices by hand. The code is Apache-2.0; the weights are a modified OpenRAIL-M that's free for research, personal use and companies under $5M, and needs a licence past that. The hosted playground means your documents reach the vendor, so run it locally for anything personal, and verify extracted amounts.

lift FAQ

Is lift free?

Yes. It runs on your own machine, so there is no usage-based cost either.

Do I need to install anything or write code to use lift?

It needs the command line. If you are not comfortable typing commands, expect to get stuck during setup.

Does lift work on a phone?

No. It needs a computer.

Can I use lift commercially?

The licence is Apache-2.0, which permits commercial use. Conditions such as keeping the copyright notice still apply, so read the licence text before shipping it inside something.
