Packaged as a LoRA adapter on top of Granite 4.0 Micro, it specializes in three tasks: table extraction, chart understanding, and semantic key-value pair (KVP) extraction from forms and documents. A key innovation is ChartNet, a 1.7-million-sample multimodal dataset spanning 24 chart types used for training. The model also uses a DeepStack architecture variant that injects visual features at multiple layers for better spatial and semantic understanding. On benchmarks, it outperforms larger models on chart summarization (86.4% Chart2Summary) and leads on multiple table extraction benchmarks. It can run standalone or integrate with the Docling document processing pipeline. Available on Hugging Face under Apache 2.0. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
