kreuzberg vs groundingLMM
kreuzberg: Kreuzberg is a high-performance, polyglot library designed to extract text and metadata from over 57 file formats, including comprehensive OCR capabilities. Built with a Rust core, it offers native speed processing, memory efficiency, and the ability to generate embeddings without requiring a GPU, making it highly versatile for various data extraction and processing tasks.; groundingLMM: GLaMM (Grounding Large Multimodal Model) is an end-to-end trained LMM capable of generating natural language responses integrated with object segmentation masks, enabling visual grounding and versatile interaction with images at multiple granularity levels. It introduces the novel task of Grounded Conversation Generation (GCG), supports various downstream applications like referring expression segmentation and region-level captioning, and is underpinned by the large-scale GranD dataset.
TL;DR
- You are building an ingestion pipeline and need text and metadata from 57+ formats without a GPU.
- Your stack is Rust, Python, TypeScript, Ruby, Go, Java, C#, PHP or Elixir, or you need a WebAssembly build.
- You process multi-gigabyte files and need streaming parsers, or want custom OCR backends through plugins.
- You just want an assistant to read a file in chat: a simple MCP converter is quicker to set up.
- You need the Ruby binding on Windows: the README's table shows no Windows build for it.
- You need the same OCR everywhere: EasyOCR and PaddleOCR are Python-only and Guten is Node.js-only.
