+
+`visual-parser` is a standalone document-ingestion tool that converts PDFs into a multi-modal JSONL knowledge base (text chunks + figure descriptions + metadata). It was originally extracted from [RADIANT-LLM](https://github.com/SmartLabNuclear/RADIANT_LLM) — born out of the need for a fast, standalone PDF-ingestion path independent of any chatbot. The intended workflow is:
+
+1) Run `visual-parser` on curated PDFs to generate JSONL KB files.
+2) Point any downstream RAG system at the generated KB for QA over it — RADIANT-LLM, AutoSAM, and AutoFLUKA all consume the identical JSONL/registry format, so the same generated KB works with any of them without re-parsing.
+
+## Outputs (JSONL KB)
+
+By default, the pipeline writes:
+- `01_chunks_kb.jsonl`: chunked text extracted from PDFs (Nougat by default).
+- `02_visuals_kb.jsonl`: figure/page visual descriptions (Vision LLM).
+- `03_metadata_kb.jsonl`: document metadata rows (title/author/etc.).
+- `04_processed_pdfs.txt`: a tracker so re-runs only process new PDFs (unless `--rebuild`).
+
+## GPU support
+
+`--text-mode nougat` (the default) auto-detects and uses a CUDA GPU when one is available (`torch.cuda.is_available()`) — no flags or code changes needed. **The catch:** a plain `pip install visual-parser` (or `pip install torch`) resolves to PyPI's default **CPU-only** torch wheel, even on a machine with a real GPU. To actually get GPU acceleration, install the matching CUDA build from PyTorch's own index instead, e.g.:
+
+```bash
+pip install torch --index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu126
+```
+
+(pick the CUDA tag matching your driver — see [pytorch.org/get-started](https://pytorch.org/get-started/locally/)). Installing `visual-parser` again afterward won't silently downgrade this back to CPU, since the exact version you already have satisfies its own dependency requirement. Verify with:
+
+```bash
+python -c "import torch; print(torch.cuda.is_available(), torch.cuda.get_device_name(0) if torch.cuda.is_available() else None)"
+```
+
+## API keys (`.env`)
+
+Provide at least one provider:
+- `OPENAI_API_KEY` (OpenAI)
+- `GEMINI_API_KEY` (Gemini)
+
+Optional:
+- `HF_TOKEN` (if you use gated Hugging Face models)
+- `PORTKEY_API_KEY` + `PORTKEY_OPENAI_PROVIDER_SLUG` — routes OpenAI-family calls (vision LLM + `--list-models`) through a [Portkey](https://portkey.ai) gateway instead of OpenAI directly, exposing whatever models your Portkey account has access to. Only takes effect when `OPENAI_API_KEY` is absent/empty — direct OpenAI always wins when both are set. Set `VISUAL_PARSER_FORCE_PORTKEY=true` to force Portkey even when `OPENAI_API_KEY` is also present (e.g. set at the OS/system level, where commenting it out of `.env` alone can't disable it).
+
+## Run with Docker (Docker Hub)
+
+Prebuilt images are on **[zev94/radiant-llm](https://hub.docker.com/r/zev94/radiant-llm)** under the **visual-parser** tags:
+
+| Tag | Description |
+|-----|-------------|
+| `visual-parser-latest` | Always latest build (rolling) |
+| `visual-parser-2.0.0` | Pinned release (Apache 2.0 release) |
+| `visual-parser-1.0` | Legacy — v1.0.0, stale |
+
+### 1) Install Docker
+- Docker Desktop (Windows/macOS) or Docker Engine (Linux)
+
+### 2) Pull the image
+```bash
+docker pull zev94/radiant-llm:visual-parser-latest
+```
+
+### 3) Run (input + output on the same mounted folder)
+Windows PowerShell:
+```powershell
+docker run --rm --env-file .env `
+  -v "C:\path\to\pdfs:/data" `
+  zev94/radiant-llm:visual-parser-latest `
+  --input-dir /data --output-dir /data
+```
+
+Linux / WSL:
+```bash
+docker run --rm --env-file .env \
+  -v "/path/to/pdfs:/data" \
+  zev94/radiant-llm:visual-parser-latest \
+  --input-dir /data --output-dir /data
+```
+
+### 4) Run (separate output directory)
+Windows PowerShell:
+```powershell
+docker run --rm --env-file .env `
+  -v "C:\path\to\pdfs:/data" `
+  -v "C:\path\to\out:/out" `
+  zev94/radiant-llm:visual-parser-latest `
+  --input-dir /data --output-dir /out
+```
+
+### GPU acceleration (Docker)
+
+Add `--gpus all` to any of the run commands above to use an NVIDIA GPU for `--text-mode nougat` (the default) instead of CPU — confirmed working out of the box with Docker Desktop's WSL2 backend, no extra host setup needed on most machines. Omit it (or run on a machine with no GPU) and it falls back to CPU automatically:
+
+```powershell
+docker run --rm --gpus all --env-file .env `
+  -v "C:\path\to\pdfs:/data" `
+  zev94/radiant-llm:visual-parser-latest `
+  --input-dir /data --output-dir /data
+```
+
+### Offline install (legacy `.tar`)
+
+```powershell
+docker load -i .\visual-parser_0.1.0.tar
+docker images   # use the tag printed by Docker
+```
+
+### Model overrides (optional)
+
+Default vision model is **GPT-5.4** when using `--vision-provider gpt`. Override on the command line:
+
+```powershell
+docker run --rm --env-file .env -v "C:\path\to\pdfs:/data" `
+  zev94/radiant-llm:visual-parser-latest `
+  --input-dir /data --output-dir /data --vision-model gpt-5.4
+```
+
+<!-- ## Run from source (Python)
+
+From `codebase/Visual-Parser/`:
+```powershell
+python visual-parser.py --input-dir "C:\path\to\pdfs"
+``` -->
+
+## Common configuration flags
+
+After pulling the image, run:
+
+```bash
+docker run --rm zev94/radiant-llm:visual-parser-latest --help
+```
+
+For copy-paste **Docker** examples (vision presets, text modes, workers, rebuild), see [`docker-usage-examples.md`](docker-usage-examples.md).
+
+Paths:
+- `--input-dir` / `-i` (required)
+- `--output-dir` / `-o` (default: same as input)
+
+Text extraction:
+- `--text-mode nougat|lightweight` (default: `nougat`)
+- `--nougat-model facebook/nougat-small`
+- `--chunk-size 500`
+- `--chunk-overlap 100`
+
+Vision LLM:
+- `--vision-provider gpt|gemini` (default: `gpt`)
+- `--vision-model gpt-5.2` (or `gpt-4o`, `gemini-2.5-flash`, etc.)
+- `--vision-detail low|high|auto`
+- `--reasoning-effort none|low|medium|high|xhigh`
+- `--metadata-pages 2`
+
+Performance / misc:
+- `--max-workers 4`
+- `--rebuild` (reprocess everything; ignore `04_processed_pdfs.txt`)
+- `--list-models` — print the live, currently-available vision models for whichever provider(s) you have a key configured for, then exit (no PDF processing). Reflects Portkey's catalog too when that's what's active.
+- `--version` / `-V`
+- `--log-level DEBUG|INFO|WARNING|ERROR`

+|-----|-------------|
+| `visual-parser-latest` | Always latest build (rolling) |
+| `visual-parser-2.0.0` | Pinned release (Apache 2.0 release) |
+| `visual-parser-1.0` | Legacy — v1.0.0, stale |
+
+### 1) Install Docker
+- Docker Desktop (Windows/macOS) or Docker Engine (Linux)
+
+### 2) Pull the image
+```bash
+docker pull zev94/radiant-llm:visual-parser-latest
+```
+
+### 3) Run (input + output on the same mounted folder)
+Windows PowerShell:
+```powershell
+docker run --rm --env-file .env `
+  -v "C:\path\to\pdfs:/data" `
+  zev94/radiant-llm:visual-parser-latest `
+  --input-dir /data --output-dir /data
+```
+
+Linux / WSL:
+```bash
+docker run --rm --env-file .env \
+  -v "/path/to/pdfs:/data" \
+  zev94/radiant-llm:visual-parser-latest \
+  --input-dir /data --output-dir /data
+```
+
+### 4) Run (separate output directory)
+Windows PowerShell:
+```powershell
+docker run --rm --env-file .env `
+  -v "C:\path\to\pdfs:/data" `
+  -v "C:\path\to\out:/out" `
+  zev94/radiant-llm:visual-parser-latest `
+  --input-dir /data --output-dir /out
+```
+
+### GPU acceleration (Docker)
+
+Add `--gpus all` to any of the run commands above to use an NVIDIA GPU for `--text-mode nougat` (the default) instead of CPU — confirmed working out of the box with Docker Desktop's WSL2 backend, no extra host setup needed on most machines. Omit it (or run on a machine with no GPU) and it falls back to CPU automatically:
+
+```powershell
+docker run --rm --gpus all --env-file .env `
+  -v "C:\path\to\pdfs:/data" `
+  zev94/radiant-llm:visual-parser-latest `
+  --input-dir /data --output-dir /data
+```
+
+### Offline install (legacy `.tar`)
+
+```powershell
+docker load -i .\visual-parser_0.1.0.tar
+docker images   # use the tag printed by Docker
+```
+
+### Model overrides (optional)
+
+Default vision model is **GPT-5.4** when using `--vision-provider gpt`. Override on the command line:
+
+```powershell
+docker run --rm --env-file .env -v "C:\path\to\pdfs:/data" `
+  zev94/radiant-llm:visual-parser-latest `
+  --input-dir /data --output-dir /data --vision-model gpt-5.4
+```
+
+<!-- ## Run from source (Python)
+
+From `codebase/Visual-Parser/`:
+```powershell
+python visual-parser.py --input-dir "C:\path\to\pdfs"
+``` -->
+
+## Common configuration flags
+
+After pulling the image, run:
+
+```bash
+docker run --rm zev94/radiant-llm:visual-parser-latest --help
+```
+
+For copy-paste **Docker** examples (vision presets, text modes, workers, rebuild), see [`docker-usage-examples.md`](docker-usage-examples.md).
+
+Paths:
+- `--input-dir` / `-i` (required)
+- `--output-dir` / `-o` (default: same as input)
+
+Text extraction:
+- `--text-mode nougat|lightweight` (default: `nougat`)
+- `--nougat-model facebook/nougat-small`
+- `--chunk-size 500`
+- `--chunk-overlap 100`
+
+Vision LLM:
+- `--vision-provider gpt|gemini` (default: `gpt`)
+- `--vision-model gpt-5.2` (or `gpt-4o`, `gemini-2.5-flash`, etc.)
+- `--vision-detail low|high|auto`
+- `--reasoning-effort none|low|medium|high|xhigh`
+- `--metadata-pages 2`
+
+Performance / misc:
+- `--max-workers 4`
+- `--rebuild` (reprocess everything; ignore `04_processed_pdfs.txt`)
+- `--list-models` — print the live, currently-available vision models for whichever provider(s) you have a key configured for, then exit (no PDF processing). Reflects Portkey's catalog too when that's what's active.
+- `--version` / `-V`
+- `--log-level DEBUG|INFO|WARNING|ERROR`
