NuExtract3 is a 4B Qwen3.5-based VLM for document understanding. It does two things: 1. Document-to-Markdown OCR (default): images -> clean markdown with HTML tables, LaTeX math, and
tags. 2. Schema-guided structured extraction: images + a JSON template -> JSON output shaped exactly like the template. Useful for invoices, receipts, forms, contracts. Modes are selected via flags: - (no flags) -> markdown OCR - --mode content -> plain-content extraction - --template SOURCE -> structured extraction with a NuExtract template - --schema SOURCE -> structured extraction with a JSON Schema (auto-converted via numind.nuextract_utils) - --instructions STR -> free-text guidance passed through to the model (output-format rules, branch routing, etc.). Combines with any of the modes above. See https://huggingface.co/numind/NuExtract3#instructions --template / --schema each accept inline JSON, a URL, or a local file path, so a schema can be hosted (e.g. on an HF dataset's raw URL) and reused across jobs: --template https://huggingface.co/datasets/ORG/REPO/raw/main/card.json HF Jobs invocation (recommended): use the vllm/vllm-openai:latest image so the pre-built CUDA kernels (flashinfer etc.) are reused — the default uv-script image lacks nvcc and flashinfer's JIT compile fails at engine warmup. hf jobs uv run \\ --image vllm/vllm-openai:latest \\ --flavor a100-large \\ --python /usr/bin/python3 \\ -e PYTHONPATH=/usr/local/lib/python3.12/dist-packages \\ -s HF_TOKEN \\ https://huggingface.co/datasets/uv-scripts/ocr/raw/main/nuextract3.py \\ INPUT_DATASET OUTPUT_DATASET --max-samples 5 --shuffle --seed 42 Model: numind/NuExtract3 License: Apache-2.0 """ import argparse import base64 import io import json import logging import os import sys import time from datetime import datetime from pathlib import Path from typing import Any, Dict, List, Optional, Union import torch from datasets import load_dataset from huggingface_hub import DatasetCard, login from PIL import Image from toolz import partition_all # Disable vLLM's FlashInfer sampler: it JIT-compiles a CUDA kernel needing nvcc, which the # default uv-script image lacks (engine init then crashes).
