Extraction Light

Changelog for the Extraction Light profile. This section covers CPU-optimized models, edge deployments, cost reduction strategies, and resource-efficient processing options.

What’s Included

  • Edge Deployments: On-device and low-compute extraction options
  • Cost Optimization: Reduced compute profiles for budget-sensitive workflows
  • Fallback Strategies: Graceful degradation when full models are unavailable
  • Mobile Support: SDK optimizations for iOS and Android capture apps

Recent Updates

2024-12-08 — CPU-Only Mode Improvements

Optimized CPU-only extraction path with SIMD (Single Instruction, Multiple Data) vectorization. Processing speed improved by 25% on ARM-based edge devices without GPU.

  • Impact: Latency

2024-11-22 — Invoice Extractor Light v2

Released invoice-extractor-light-v2 profile with 60% reduced model size. Maintains 94% of full-model accuracy on standard invoice formats.

  • Impact: Accuracy

2024-11-08 — Adaptive OCR Fallback

Introduced intelligent fallback to lightweight OCR when document complexity is low. Reduces average compute cost by 35% for simple documents.

  • Impact: Reliability

2024-10-28 — Mobile SDK: Bandwidth Optimization

Added client-side JPEG compression (configurable quality 70-95%) before upload. Reduces bandwidth usage by 40-60% for mobile capture applications.

  • Impact: Latency

2024-10-14 — Edge Container Updates

Updated lightweight container image with Alpine Linux base. Image size reduced from 1.2GB to 420MB for faster deployment on edge infrastructure.

  • Impact: UX

2024-09-30 — Graceful Degradation Mode

Added automatic quality-tier fallback when GPU resources are constrained. Documents processed at reduced quality rather than queued indefinitely.

  • Impact: Reliability

2024-09-18 — Field Subset Extraction

Introduced field selection parameter allowing extraction of specific fields only. Reduces processing time for workflows requiring limited data capture.

  • Impact: Latency

Compatibility Notes

  • Light profiles require SDK version 1.3.0 or later
  • Edge containers compatible with ARM64 and x86_64 architectures
  • Fallback modes can be disabled via API parameter strict_mode: true

Roadmap (Next Quarter)

  • WebAssembly extraction module for browser-only deployments
  • Offline mode with local model caching
  • Battery-aware processing for mobile devices
