GLiNER DeBERTa-v3 GGUF

GGUF conversions of urchade/gliner_medium-v2.1 for CrispEmbed inference.

Zero-shot Named Entity Recognition — detect arbitrary entity types at inference time, no retraining needed. Apache-2.0 licensed.

Model variants

File	Quant	Size	Notes
gliner-deberta-f32.gguf	F32	747 MB	Full precision
gliner-deberta-q8_0.gguf	Q8_0	198 MB	Recommended
gliner-deberta-q4_k.gguf	Q4_K	152 MB	Max compression

Q8_0 produces identical entities to F32. Q4_K may merge adjacent spans at high compression.

Architecture

DeBERTa-v3-base encoder (12 layers, 768 hidden, disentangled attention with log-bucketed relative positions) + 768-to-512 linear projection + BiLSTM (hidden=256) + GLiNER markerV0 span-label matching head (start+end concatenation).

209M parameters. Based on microsoft/deberta-v3-base with SentencePiece tokenizer (128K vocab).

Usage

# CLI
./crispembed -m gliner-deberta-q8_0.gguf \
  --ner "Tim Cook announced the new iPhone in Cupertino" \
  --ner-labels "person,organization,location,product" --json

# Auto-download
./crispembed -m gliner-deberta \
  --ner "Barack Obama was born in Hawaii" --json

# Server
./crispembed-server --ner gliner-deberta-q8_0.gguf --port 8080
curl -X POST http://localhost:8080/ner/extract \
  -d '{"text": "Tim Cook at Apple", "labels": ["person", "organization"]}'

from crispembed import CrispNER

ner = CrispNER("gliner-deberta-q8_0.gguf")
entities = ner.extract(
    "Apple Inc. was founded by Steve Jobs in Cupertino, California",
    labels=["person", "organization", "location"],
)
for e in entities:
    print(f"{e['text']} => {e['label']} ({e['score']:.2f})")
# Apple Inc. => organization (1.00)
# Steve Jobs => person (1.00)
# Cupertino => location (0.99)
# California => location (0.97)

Parity

C++ output matches Python GLiNER library (gliner==0.2.26) — same entities detected on all test inputs. Scores within 0.02-0.09 of PyTorch reference (expected for F32 precision differences in DeBERTa disentangled attention).
