Datalab Releases lift: A 9B Open-Weights Vision Model That Extracts Structured JSON From PDFs Using Schemas

Datalab has released lift, a 9B open-weights vision model for structured extraction. You pass it a JSON schema, and it returns a JSON object that matches. The model reads PDFs and images directly, then decodes against your schema. This is Datalab’s first model built purely for extraction. The team already ships open-source OCR tools: chandra,

How to Use NVIDIA Canary-1B-v2 for ASR, Translation, and Automatic SRT Subtitle Export in Python

In this tutorial, we build a speech recognition and translation workflow using NVIDIA Canary-1B-v2. We begin by setting up the required audio, NeMo, NumPy, and SciPy dependencies, then load the Canary model on a GPU-enabled runtime for efficient inference. From there, we prepare audio into a clean 16 kHz mono format, perform English ASR, translate
