42
+ form, that is based on (or derived from) the Work and for which the

+
90
+ 4. Redistribution. You may reproduce and distribute copies of the
91
+ Work or Derivative Works thereof in any medium, with or without

+ (c) You must retain, in the Source form of any Derivative Works
102
+ that You distribute, all copyright, patent, trademark, and
103
+ attribution notices from the Source form of the Work,
104
+ excluding those notices that do not pertain to any part of
105
+ the Derivative Works; and
106
+
107
+ (d) If the Work includes a "NOTICE" text file as part of its
108
+ distribution, then any Derivative Works that You distribute must

129
+ the conditions stated in this License.
130
+
131
+ 5. Submission of Contributions. Unless You explicitly state otherwise,
132
+ any Contribution intentionally submitted for inclusion in the Work
133
+ by You to the Licensor shall be under the terms and conditions of
134
+ this License, without any additional terms or conditions.
135
+ Notwithstanding the above, nothing herein shall supersede or modify

+ the terms of any separate license agreement you may have executed
137
+ with Licensor regarding such Contributions.
138
+
139
+ 6. Trademarks. This License does not grant permission to use the trade
140
+ names, trademarks, service marks, or product names of the Licensor,

+ except as required for reasonable and customary use in describing the
142
+ origin of the Work and reproducing the content of the NOTICE file.
143
+
144
+ 7. Disclaimer of Warranty. Unless required by applicable law or
145
+ agreed to in writing, Licensor provides the Work (and each
146
+ Contributor provides its Contributions) on an "AS IS" BASIS,
147
+ WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, either express or

+ implied, including, without limitation, any warranties or conditions

+ of TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, or FITNESS FOR A
150
+ PARTICULAR PURPOSE. You are solely responsible for determining the
151
+ appropriateness of using or redistributing the Work and assume any
152
+ risks associated with Your exercise of permissions under this License.
153
+
154
+ 8. Limitation of Liability. In no event and under no legal theory,
155
+ whether in tort (including negligence), contract, or otherwise,
156
+ unless required by applicable law (such as deliberate and grossly
157
+ negligent acts) or agreed to in writing, shall any Contributor be
158
+ liable to You for damages, including any direct, indirect, special,
159
+ incidental, or consequential damages of any character arising as a
160
+ result of this License or out of the use or inability to use the
161
+ Work (including but not limited to damages for loss of goodwill,
162
+ work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all
163
+ other commercial damages or losses), even if such Contributor
164
+ has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
165
+
166
+ 9. Accepting Warranty or Additional Liability. While redistributing
167
+ the Work or Derivative Works thereof, You may choose to offer,

170
+ License. However, in accepting such obligations, You may act only
171
+ on Your own behalf and on Your sole responsibility, not on behalf
172
+ of any other Contributor, and only if You agree to indemnify,
173
+ defend, and hold each Contributor harmless for any liability
174

35
+
36
+ A LangChain `Tool` + `Retriever` for [PixelRAG](https://github.com/StarTrail-org/PixelRAG) — visual, screenshot-native search for AI agents.
37
+
38
+ **This is an unofficial, community-built integration.** It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or maintained by StarTrail-org or the PixelRAG paper authors. All credit for the underlying research and the `pixelrag-serve` engine belongs to them — see [Credits](#credits).
39
+
40
+ ## Why visual search
41
+
42
+ Most agent pipelines fetch a page, strip the HTML down to text, chunk it, and embed the chunks. That throws away tables, charts, and layout — information that's often exactly what answers the question. [PixelRAG](https://arxiv.org/abs/2606.28344) (Wang, Li, Wang, Teiletche, Jin, Zaharia, Gonzalez, Min — UC Berkeley, Princeton, EPFL, Databricks) skips the text step entirely: it renders documents to screenshot tiles, retrieves over the images directly, and hands the retrieved tiles to a vision-language model to read.
43
+
44
+ This package doesn't reimplement any of that. It just wraps the existing `pixelrag-serve` search API so it drops into a LangChain (or LangGraph) agent as a normal tool/retriever.
45
+
46
+ ## Architecture
47
+
48
+ ```mermaid
49
+ flowchart LR
50
+ A["Page / PDF"] --> B["pixelrag-render\n(screenshot tiles)"]
51
+ B --> C["pixelrag-embed\n(Qwen3-VL-Embedding)"]
52
+ C --> D["FAISS index\n(pixelrag-serve)"]
53
+ D -- "this package talks to D" --> E["PixelRAGRetriever /\nPixelRAGSearchTool"]
54
+ E --> F["Your LangChain / LangGraph agent"]
55
+ F --> G["VLM reader\n(your model of choice)"]
56
+ ```
57
+
58
+ Everything left of the dotted line (`render` → `embed` → `index` → `serve`) is upstream PixelRAG, run by you. This package is the box on the right: a client + LangChain adapters.
59
+
60
+ ## Install
61
+
62
+ ```bash
63
+ pip install pixelrag-langchain
64
+ ```
65
+
66
+ This installs only the LangChain adapter (`httpx`, `langchain-core`, `pydantic`) — no GPU, no `torch`, no CUDA. It talks to a `pixelrag-serve` instance over HTTP; it doesn't run embedding or indexing itself.
67
+
68
+ ## Quickstart — zero setup
69
+
70
+ Upstream PixelRAG runs an official public production endpoint — no API key or index download required. Nothing to install beyond this package:
71
+
72
+ ```python
73
+ from pixelrag_langchain import PixelRAGRetriever, PixelRAGConfig
74
+
75
+ retriever = PixelRAGRetriever(config=PixelRAGConfig.hosted())
76
+ docs = retriever.invoke("What is the capital of France?")
77
+
78
+ for doc in docs:
79
+ print(doc.metadata["score"], doc.metadata["source"])
80
+ print(doc.metadata["image_url"]) # fetchable PNG URL
81
+ ```
82
+
83
+ `PixelRAGConfig.hosted()` points at `https://api.pixelrag.ai`, upstream's documented production endpoint. It uses their infrastructure and Wikipedia index, not your documents. PixelRAG does not publish throughput, latency, or rate-limit guarantees; self-host when you need guaranteed capacity or private data.
84
+
85
+ ## Retrieving the actual tile images
86
+
87
+ Search results identify each screenshot with `article_id`, `tile_index`, and `chunk_index`. Version 0.2 turns those coordinates into the upstream-supported `/tile/...` URL; the server-relative `path` field is informational and should not be used to construct URLs.
88
+
89
+ Use the client when you want explicit control over image downloads:
90
+
91
+ ```python
92
+ from pixelrag_langchain import PixelRAGClient, PixelRAGConfig
93
+
94
+ with PixelRAGClient(PixelRAGConfig.hosted()) as client:
95
+ tile = client.search("diagram of a transformer architecture", n_docs=1)[0]
96
+ print(client.tile_url(tile))
97
+ png_bytes = client.fetch_tile(tile)
98
+ ```
99
+

+ The separate `GET /tile/{article_id}/{tile_index}/{chunk_index}` request is the recommended default because it keeps search responses small. If you need every image inline, explicitly request base64 data:
101
+
102
+ ```python
103
+ with PixelRAGClient(PixelRAGConfig.hosted()) as client:
104
+ tiles = client.search("quarterly revenue chart", include_images=True)
105
+ print(tiles[0].image_base64)
106
+ ```
107
+
108
+ `PixelRAGRetriever` exposes the coordinate URL in both `metadata["tile_url"]` and `metadata["image_url"]`. `PixelRAGSearchTool` provides `tile_image_url()` and `fetch_tile_bytes()` for structured LangGraph workflows. See [`examples/langgraph_node.py`](examples/langgraph_node.py) for a complete multimodal-message handoff.
109
+
110
+ The API is currently pre-1.0. Its authoritative machine-readable contract is served at [`/openapi.json`](https://api.pixelrag.ai/openapi.json); this package parses additive hit fields leniently.
111
+
112
+ For operational checks, `client.health()` returns a best-effort boolean and `client.status()` returns the server's current index diagnostics.
113
+
114
+ ## Quickstart — your own documents
115
+
116
+ For real use — your own PDFs, internal docs, scraped pages — run `pixelrag serve` yourself:
117
+
118
+ ```bash
119
+ pip install 'pixelrag[serve]'
120
+
121
+ # Download a pre-built Wikipedia index, or build your own from `pip install 'pixelrag[index]'`
122
+ huggingface-cli download StarTrail-org/pixelrag-faiss-indexes \
123
+ --repo-type dataset --include "search_index_normed_v2/*" --local-dir ./index
124
+
125
+ pixelrag serve --index-dir ./index/search_index_normed_v2 --port 30001
126
+ ```
127
+
128
+ ```python
129
+ from pixelrag_langchain import PixelRAGRetriever, PixelRAGConfig
130
+
131
+ retriever = PixelRAGRetriever(config=PixelRAGConfig(base_url="http://localhost:30001"))
132
+ docs = retriever.invoke("What is the capital of France?")
133
+ ```
134
+
135
+ ## As an agent tool
136
+
137
+ ```python
138
+ from langchain.agents import create_agent
139
+ from pixelrag_langchain import PixelRAGSearchTool, PixelRAGConfig
140
+
141
+ tool = PixelRAGSearchTool(config=PixelRAGConfig.hosted()) # or base_url="http://localhost:30001"
142
+ agent = create_agent(model="your-model", tools=[tool])
143
+ ```
144
+
145
+ Nothing here defaults to a single host silently — `PixelRAGConfig(base_url=...)` accepts any pixelrag-serve-compatible URL, including your own deployment; `.hosted()` is one explicit opt-in line, not a hidden default.
146
+
147
+ ## What this package is *not*
148
+
149
+ - Not a reimplementation of PixelRAG's render/embed/index/serve pipeline — install the [upstream project](https://github.com/StarTrail-org/PixelRAG) for that.
150
+ - Not a hosted service itself. `PixelRAGConfig.hosted()` is a convenience pointer to *upstream's* public endpoint, not infrastructure we run.
151
+ - Not affiliated with StarTrail-org, Berkeley Sky Computing Lab, BAIR, or the Berkeley NLP Group, who built the actual PixelRAG engine and research this wraps.
152
+
153
+ ## Benchmarks (from the upstream paper, not measured by this package)
154
+
155
+ Reported in [PIXELRAG: Web Screenshots Beat Text for Retrieval-Augmented Generation](https://arxiv.org/abs/2606.28344) (arXiv:2606.28344):
156
+
157
+ | Metric | Text-based RAG | PixelRAG | Context |
158
+ |---|---|---|---|
159
+ | Prompt tokens, agentic benchmark | 37.5M | 3.6M | MoNaCo multi-step agent benchmark |
160
+ | Accuracy gain | baseline | up to +18.1% | vs. text-based RAG baselines, across NQ/SimpleQA/MMSearch/LiveVQA |
161
+ | Token cost via image compression | — | up to 3x reduction | lower-resolution tiles, accuracy preserved |
162
+
163
+ These are the paper's own reported numbers, not something we independently reproduced — treat them as a starting point for your own evaluation on your workload, not a guarantee.
