## About

### What it is

NuExtract3 is a 4B vision-language model for understanding documents. It does two main jobs. It fills a JSON template with facts pulled from a document, and it converts document images into Markdown. The record lists 4.5B parameters and a base of Qwen3.5-4B.

### Who it suits

It suits teams that turn paper-like documents into structured data or searchable text. The card names scans, receipts, forms, invoices, contracts and tables.

| Industry | Who uses it | How they use it | Example |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Finance and accounting | Back-office teams | Pull fields from invoices and receipts into JSON | Filling a template with dates and totals from a scanned invoice |
| Legal | Contract reviewers | Extract named terms from contracts | Listing parties and clauses in a fixed JSON layout |
| Software | Builders of search and RAG tools | Convert scanned pages to Markdown before indexing | Turning a form scan into Markdown with tables kept |

People who only need plain OCR of simple text can skip it.

### Where to use it

- Python with the transformers library on Windows, macOS or Linux
- Extraction pipelines that need JSON back
- OCR jobs on scans and photos of documents
- RAG preprocessing, where pages become Markdown

| Use case | Who | What they get back |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Structured extraction | Data and operations teams | JSON that follows the template you supply |
| Image to Markdown | Search and RAG builders | Markdown for text, HTML for tables and LaTeX for math |
| Template generation | Analysts | A draft template made from a description or from a document |

### How to set it up

- Python on your computer
- The transformers library
- Disk space for about 9.1 GB of BF16 weights, or about 2.3 GB at 4-bit as an estimate

1. Install the Hugging Face hub package.
2. Download the model files.
3. Load the model with transformers, following the usage notes on the model card.

```sh
pip install -U huggingface_hub
```

```sh
hf download numind/NuExtract3
```

### How to use it

For extraction, you give the model a document as text, images or both, a JSON template and your instructions, and it returns JSON. For conversion, you give it document images and it returns Markdown. The part of the card with run code is not in the text provided here.

| Tool | What it does |
| --- | --- |
| Structured extraction | Fills a JSON template from text or images, guided by your instructions |
| Markdown conversion | Turns document images into Markdown |
| Reasoning mode | Lets the model think before it answers, or switches that off |
| Template generation | Drafts an extraction template from plain language or from a document |

### Example

You have a photo of a receipt and a short JSON template with fields for the shop, the date and the total. You pass both with a one-line instruction. The model returns JSON in the shape of your template.

### For newcomers and experts

Think of it as a reader that fills in a form for you. A first small step is to download the files and try one clean scan with a simple template. Keep the template short at the start.

It is built on Qwen3.5-4B and supports reasoning and non-reasoning inference. On the maker's internal test of about 600 mixed documents, the card reports an average score of 0.651. It also says the reasoning of small models often fell into repetition loops, which hurt their scores.

Document as text or images → Add a JSON template and instructions → Model reads the page and reasons → JSON or Markdown comes back

### Good to know

- License: Apache 2.0.
- Cost to run: none named for the downloaded model. The card also points to a hosted API and platform, with no price given.
- Data it reaches: it downloads files from the Hugging Face Hub, then reads whatever documents you give it.
- Not for: independent proof. The benchmark is the maker's own, and the card says it plans to publish it later.
- Documents in several languages are supported.
