ColPali

ColPali is an AI-powered multimodal document retrieval solution that helps users search and retrieve relevant information from visually rich documents such as PDFs, reports, presentations, and scanned documents. Designed for AI-powered search and knowledge retrieval, ColPali uses vision-language understanding to analyze document pages and their visual structure, enabling efficient semantic retrieval across complex document content.

Features of ColPali:

• Uses vision-language models to understand and retrieve information from visually rich documents.
• Supports semantic search across document text, layouts, tables, images, and other visual elements.
• Helps retrieve relevant document pages based on natural-language queries.
• Can be used for AI-powered document search, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), research, and knowledge management workflows.

ColPali usage:

$ sudo su
$ apt update
$ cd /opt/colpali
$ source .venv/bin/activate

$ Verify:
# pip list | grep -i -E "colpali|torch|peft|transformers|nvidia|triton"
# python -c "import torch, colpali_engine; print(torch.__version__, torch.cuda.is_available()); print('OK')"
