Welcome to our guide on using the Reader-LM models to transform HTML content into Markdown format. This can be a highly useful process for content developers, web scrapers, or anyone looking to streamline their content conversion tasks. We’ll walk you through the steps, whether you’re using Google Colab or setting it up on your local machine.
Introduction to Reader-LM
The Reader-LM series from Jina AI is specifically designed to convert HTML content into Markdown. Think of it as a translator for web content, changing the language from HTML—a complex structure—into Markdown, which is simpler and easier to manage. Each model in the series has been finely tuned to ensure accurate and clean conversions.
Available Models
Quick Start: Using Reader-LM
Want to get started right away? Here are two methods to run the Reader-LM models effectively.
1. Using Google Colab
The easiest way to experience Reader-LM is via this Colab notebook. It demonstrates how to convert content from HackerNews into Markdown seamlessly. The notebook is optimized for Google Colab’s free T4 GPU tier.
2. Running Locally
If you prefer to run the model locally, follow these steps:
- First, install the transformers library:
pip install transformers==4.43.4from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer
checkpoint = "jinaai/reader-lm-0.5b" # Choose your model
device = "cuda" # Change to "cpu" if you are not using GPU
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(checkpoint)
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(checkpoint).to(device)
# Example HTML content
html_content = "<html><body><h1>Hello, world!</h1></body></html>"
messages = [{"role": "user", "content": html_content}]
input_text = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(messages, tokenize=False)
inputs = tokenizer.encode(input_text, return_tensors="pt").to(device)
# Generate output
outputs = model.generate(inputs, max_new_tokens=1024, temperature=0, do_sample=False, repetition_penalty=1.08)
print(tokenizer.decode(outputs[0]))Troubleshooting
In case you encounter issues while using Reader-LM, consider the following troubleshooting tips:
- Installation Issues: Ensure that the transformers library is installed correctly and that you are using the right Python version.
- Model Not Loading: Check your internet connection; a stable connection is required for downloading the models.
- Output Errors: Make sure the input HTML is correctly formatted. Improperly formatted HTML can lead to conversion issues.
