We introduce Docling, an easy-to-use, self-contained, MIT-licensed, open-source toolkit for document conversion, that can parse several types of popular document formats into a unified, richly structured representation. It is powered by state-of-the-art specialized AI models for layout analysis (DocLayNet) and table structure recognition (TableFormer), and runs efficiently on commodity hardware in a small resource budget. Docling is released as a Python package and can be used as a Python API or as a CLI tool. Docling's modular architecture and efficient document representation make it easy to implement extensions, new features, models, and customizations. Docling has been already integrated in other popular open-source frameworks (e.g., LangChain, LlamaIndex, spaCy), making it a natural fit for the processing of documents and the development of high-end applications. The open-source community has fully engaged in using, promoting, and developing for Docling, which gathered 10k stars on GitHub in less than a month and was reported as the No. 1 trending repository in GitHub worldwide in November 2024.

  1. HSD: Training-Free Acceleration for Document Parsing Vision-Language Models with Hierarchical Speculative Decoding

    cs.CV 2026-02 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A training-free, two-stage speculative decoding scheme accelerates VLM document parsers by ~2.8x end-to-end (up to 7x) while keeping parsing accuracy essentially unchanged.

  2. The Hidden Threat in Plain Text: Attacking RAG Data Loaders

    cs.CR 2025-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Invisible characters and formatting tricks in ingested documents survive popular RAG data loaders and can manipulate end-to-end RAG outputs.

  3. Granite Vision: a lightweight, open-source multimodal model for enterprise Intelligence

    cs.CV 2025-02 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Granite Vision is a ~3B parameter open-weights vision-language model that reaches state-of-the-art scores on document understanding benchmarks despite its small size.

  4. Advancing Subsurface Discovery and Geothermal Monitoring with an Agentic Artificial Intelligence Framework

    physics.geo-ph 2025-11 reject novelty 5.0 of 10

    GAIA couples an LLM planning agent with retrieval-augmented search and standard seismological tools to automate geothermal monitoring, but no quantitative evaluation is reported.

  5. Automated Evidence Extraction and Scoring for Corporate Climate Policy Engagement: A Multilingual RAG Approach

    cs.CL 2025-09 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    A multilingual RAG pipeline combining layout-aware parsing, Nomic embeddings, and few-shot prompting extracts and stance-classifies corporate climate lobbying evidence nearly as accurately as gold human snippets.

  6. Vision-Guided Chunking Is All You Need: Enhancing RAG with Multimodal Document Understanding

    cs.LG 2025-06 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Using a multimodal model to chunk PDF pages in batches with cross-page context raised RAG answer accuracy from 0.78 to 0.89 on the authors' private benchmark.
