GLiNER2: Unified Schema-Based Information Extraction

Feels like it's written by ML people not following python software engineering practices.

No black, UV or ruff.

Prints messages with emojis to stdout by default.

Makes a connection to hugging face on every import.

GLiNER is a really great research work. But putting this kind of things in production is just another job. Not trying to do self promotion here, but there are alternatives for this purpose, like gline-rs (https://github.com/fbilhaut/gline-rs). Support of GLiNER 2 models is on the way.

Any chance you could wrap this in pyo3? There is a large python market for this.

Very cool stuff. Love the focus on CPU-first.

Would also love to see some throughput numbers on basic VM setup.

Edit: there are some latency numbers in the paper https://arxiv.org/pdf/2507.18546

Zero-shot encoder models are so cool. I'll definitely be checking this out.

If you're looking for a zero-shot classifier, tasksource is in a similar vein.

gliner2 does classification as well as entities and relationships

Is this only for text I guess? What if the documents are in PDF? What is the recommendation to transform PDF to text?

This looks great. Thank you!

There is another version at:

Looks like it’s still being maintained too?

GLiNER2 is an upgrade that allows for relationship extraction and classification, built on GLiNER, and added additional research / papers, then trained a new model.

Use Gliner2. Much better model.

Okay but there is a dependency on gliner1:

Sounds like a great model which is hobbled by a bunch of mundane python programming issues that researchers don't want to deal with. If there is sufficient interest, I can look into maintaining a new wrapper.
