Designing a Schema-Guided Invoice Intelligence Pipeline with lift-pdf for Accounts-Payable Extraction, Validation, and Ledger Generation

In this tutorial, we build an end-to-end accounts-payable extraction pipeline with lift-pdf, using synthetic invoice PDFs as controlled test documents and a structured JSON schema as the target output format. Instead of treating invoice parsing as a simple OCR task, we frame it as schema-guided document understanding: we generate realistic invoices, define fields such as […]

trunk tools' stack cut document review from 60 days to 10 by ditching general purpose models

Trunk Tools’ stack cut document review from 60 days to 10 by ditching general-purpose models

Most verticals aren’t clean, well-oiled SaaS databases; the reality is ugly documents, proprietary schemas, implicit workflows, and long‑running tasks that most general-purpose models struggle with. This prompted construction project management company Trunk Tools to build a specialized, three-layer architecture — perception, semantics, agents — based on highly-detailed data to support high-accuracy, highly-relevant industry automation. Their

Meet WebBrain: An Open-Source, Local-First AI Browser Agent That Reads Pages and Automates Tasks in Chrome and Firefox

WebBrain is a free, open-source browser agent for Chrome and Firefox. It reads pages, extracts data, and automates multi-step tasks. Unlike most browser AI plugins, it can also run entirely on a local model. It is built by Emre Sokullu and licensed under MIT. The full source lives on GitHub.  Run the agent against a

Interfaze Ships diffusion-gemma-asr-small, an Open-Source Diffusion ASR Model Transcribing Six Languages via DiffusionGemma’s Parallel Denoising Decoder

Interfaze, a young YC’s startup, has open-sourced a new speech recognition model. It is called diffusion-gemma-asr-small. The model transcribes audio through a diffusion decoder, not an autoregressive one. It is described as the first multilingual audio diffusion ASR model. One adapter handles six languages. The research team trained only about 42M parameters on top of

Enterprises lost Claude Fable 5 for a few weeks. New data shows two-thirds had already built their hedge

Two-thirds of enterprises have hedged their AI model strategy, and the past few weeks of controversy around Anthropic’s Claude Fable 5 model showed why that posture has gone mainstream.  On June 12, a U.S. export-control order pulled Anthropic’s Claude Fable 5 — the most capable model on the market — offline for every customer, with

RAG-Anything Tutorial: Build a Multimodal Retrieval Pipeline for Text, Tables, Equations, and Images in Colab

In this tutorial, we build a RAG-Anything workflow and use it to explore how multimodal retrieval works across text, tables, equations, and images. We start by preparing the Colab environment, installing the required packages, and securely entering our OpenAI API key at runtime to keep the notebook practical and safe to run. We then create

New Alibaba AI framework skips loading every tool, cutting agent token use 99%

As enterprise AI systems scale to handle complex workflows, practitioners face the challenge of routing subtasks to the right tools and skills. Agents can have hundreds of tools and skills and get confused on which one to use for each step of a workflow. To address this challenge, researchers at Alibaba developed SkillWeaver, a framework

The Control Gap: Enterprise AI organizations have an ownership problem, not a technology problem — and most are governing it by hand

AI portfolios are expanding far faster than the ability to govern them across enterprises. Most organizations run a contested field of platforms, each claiming to be the “primary” AI layer; few could confidently detect a model drifting or failing in production; and the single most-cited barrier to control is the absence of any one owner

Using Lift to Turn Research PDFs into Structured JSON with Controlled, Schema-Guided Field-Level Evaluation

In this tutorial, we build a complete PDF-to-structured-data extraction workflow around Lift, with a focus on controlled evaluation rather than a simple demo run. We begin by preparing a Colab-compatible GPU environment, selecting the appropriate precision mode for the available hardware, and patching model loading to ensure the Lift backend runs reliably even on constrained

Anthropic Redeploys Claude Fable 5 on July 1 After US Export Controls Lift, Adds New Cybersecurity Classifier

Anthropic is redeploying Claude Fable 5, its most capable generally available model. On June 30, it announced that US export controls had lifted. The controls had covered Claude Fable 5 and Claude Mythos 5. Fable 5 returned to users globally on Wednesday, July 1. Mythos 5 access is restored to a set of US organizations.
