To illustrate the economics, IBM’s Mr Cox points to a product developed by his company, called Docling, which transforms PDF documents, such as receipts, into storable data. It runs on a “tiny” model with about 250m parameters.

Open-Source AI Tool Upgrades Speed Up LLM and Diffusion Models on NVIDIA RTX PCs

Author: Nvidia
Date: Jan 6th, 2026
Link: https://developer.nvidia.com/blog/open-source-ai-tool-upgrades-speed-up-llm-and-diffusion-models-on-nvidia-rtx-pcs/

For RAG, NVIDIA partnered with Docling—a package to ingest, analyze, and process documents into a machine-understandable language for RAG pipelines. Docling is optimized for RTX PCs and DGX Spark and delivers 4x performance compared to CPUs.

There are two ways of using Docling:

• Traditional OCR pipeline: This is a pipeline of libraries and models that is accelerated via PyTorch-CUDA on RTX.
• VLM-based pipeline: An advanced pipeline for complex multi-modality documents, available for use via vLLM within WSL and Linux environments.

Docling is developed at IBM and contributed to the Linux Foundation. Start now on RTX with this easy-to-use guide.

  Docling was mentioned in the AI Reddit Recap section under SurfSense, an open-source alternative to NotebookLM / Perplexity / Glean. SurfSense added Docling as part of its document ingestion pipeline, highlighting support for Docling alongside 50+ file formats, 100+ LLMs, and large-scale knowledge/RAG workflows.
  The mention positions Docling as backend infrastructure for reliable document parsing and normalization in real-world RAG and memory systems.

Behind the scenes of Docling PDF Parsing

https://alain-airom.medium.com/behind-the-scenes-of-docling-pdf-parsing-20f557b289da

• Platform: Medium

[...] By integrating the RT-DETRv2 architecture, Docling has successfully bridged the gap between high-speed performance and deep structural intelligence — achieving a remarkable 23.5% gain in accuracy while maintaining real-time processing speeds. Unlike many other open-source tools that struggle with “word salad” in complex multi-column layouts, Heron’s vision-first approach ensures that the logical reading order and complex table hierarchies remain intact.
