Summary

Relation extraction for GLiNER relex models, plus more Knowledgator GLiNER models, with fixes to the GLiNER bi-encoder adapter.

Relations from GLiNER joint entity-relation models

  • Request: pass options.relation_labels, and optionally options.relation_threshold.
  • Response: relations come back in the existing Relation format (head/tail text, relation, score), consistent with GLiNER2 and GLiREL.
  • Relex models without relation_labels return entities only.
  • Other GLiNER models make exactly the same inference call as before, and reject relation_labels with a 400.
  • New model: knowledgator/gliner-relex-large-v1.0, pinned, Apache-2.0, with relation_threshold: 0.7, the model card's recommended range.
  • Bounded resource use:
    • Relex models require an entity threshold of at least 0.1.
    • Relation scoring considers at most the first 100 entity candidates per item. All entities are still returned; relations among later candidates are dropped. This is documented in the SDK README.
    • Without these bounds, a very low threshold on a 2048-word window drove gliner past 40 GiB. With them, relex-large peaks at 1.75 GiB on an L4.
  • Not included yet: the token-level checkpoints (gliner-relex-base-v1.0, gliner-relex-multi-v1.0). Their span extraction runs before the candidate cap and isn't bounded yet, so they will come in a follow-up.

More models

All are Apache-2.0 and pinned:

  • knowledgator/gliner-bi-{edge,small,large}-v2.0. Their label-encoder tokenizers are pinned through hf_tokenizer_dependencies, and the existing gliner-bi-base-v2.0 now gets the same pin.
  • knowledgator/gliner-pii-{edge,small,base,large}-v1.0, with threshold: 0.3 from the model card.

Fixes

  • GLiNER bi-encoder label-embedding cache. It was keyed by the set of labels, but embeddings are matched by position, so the same labels sent in a different order got each other's embeddings. It is now keyed by label order.
  • GLiNER bi-encoder models now report usage.input_tokens. Previously they reported none.
  • Caller errors return 400 on HTTP and queue paths. These now raise InvalidInputError: missing labels, missing or blank text, out-of-range thresholds, and relation options sent to models that don't support them.
  • gliner floor raised to >=0.2.26, the first release that loads the relex models.

Validation

  • GPU, on an L4:
    • Parity with gliner called directly, on 7 models: entity-only output, and relations at thresholds 0.5, 0.7 and 0.9. Identical under the locked 0.2.26. Under 0.2.29, spans and triples are identical and bi-encoder scores are within 4.9e-4 (the adapter uses cached label embeddings).
    • Server + SDK round trips for relex-large with relations, PII and bi models.
    • The new test_all_models entries pass.
  • Local: mise run lint, mise run typecheck and mise run test pass (7664 passed).
  • Adversarial review of the metering and resource paths. Findings addressed: the relation candidate cap now slices tensors rather than masking them, plus the threshold floor.

  • Improvements
    • Clarified errors for unsupported options and invalid thresholds.
    • Documented relation extraction behavior, model requirements, and scoring limits.

The cache of precomputed label embeddings was keyed by the set of labels,
but the embeddings are matched to labels by position. A request that sent
the same labels in a different order reused the other order's
embeddings, so its entities came back under the wrong labels. Key the
cache by the ordered label list.

gliner 0.2.26 is the first release that loads the joint entity-relation
(relex) checkpoints. It is also the version the lock already resolves.
Raising the floor changes the default bundle's requirements hash.

The bi-encoder loads its label tokenizer from the label-encoder
repository named in its GLiNER config, at whatever revision is current.
Pin that repository with hf_tokenizer_dependencies, as the other GLiNER
configs do for the tokenizers they fetch.

Adds Knowledgator's gliner-bi-{edge,small,large}-v2.0 bi-encoder NER
models next to the existing gliner-bi-base-v2.0, and the
gliner-pii-{edge,small,base,large}-v1.0 models for personal-data spans.
All are Apache-2.0, load with the existing GLiNER adapters, and pin their
revisions. The bi-encoder configs also pin their label-encoder
tokenizers. The PII configs default to the entity threshold of 0.3 that
the model card uses.

GLiNER relex models extract entities and the relations between them in
one pass. The GLiNER adapter now returns those relations when a request
names relation types in `options.relation_labels`. They use the existing
extract relation format (head, tail, relation, score), highest score
first. `options.relation_threshold` sets the relation cutoff: the model
configs default it to 0.7, and without a config value it falls back to
the entity threshold.

Relex models score every pair of entity candidates, so memory grows with
the square of the candidate count, and a low entity threshold on a long
document can produce thousands of candidates. The adapter slices the
candidate tensors to at most 100 per item, in document order, before any
pairs are built. Relations among later candidates are dropped, and all
entities are still returned. Relex requests need an entity threshold of
at least 0.1. The adapter also floors the adjacency threshold at 0.5.

Relex models return entities only when a request names no relation types.
Other GLiNER models make the same inference call as before, and both
GLiNER adapters reject `relation_labels` for models without relations.
Caller errors now raise InvalidInputError, so both the HTTP and the queue
paths answer INVALID_INPUT. These include missing labels, missing or
blank text, an entity or relation threshold outside [0, 1] (for either
GLiNER adapter), malformed relation options, and label and relation
prompts that leave no room for the document.

Metering tokenizes the relation prompt along with the entity prompt so
that it counts the document tokens the model actually keeps. The prompt
itself is not billed.

Adds knowledgator/gliner-relex-large-v1.0 (Apache-2.0), a span-level
relex model. The token-level base and multi checkpoints are left out:
gliner's token-level span extraction runs before the candidate cap and is
not bounded yet.

Behavior change: responses from GLiNER bi-encoder models
(knowledgator/gliner-bi-*, knowledgator/modern-gliner-bi-*) now carry
`usage.input_tokens`, and queued work reports input-token units. Before,
the adapter returned no counts, so usage was omitted.

A bi-encoder encodes labels separately, so its text input is the document
alone. The count is the attended tokens of the word window the GLiNER
processor keeps, special tokens included, which is the same
document-token contract as the GLiNER adapter.

construction in the GLiNER adapter so whitespace-only documents receive a zero
token count, matching inference behavior; preserve the original document
positions when restoring counts. Do not count special tokens for skipped
documents.

- Around line 510-537: Update _cap_relation_candidates to fail closed when
represent_spans returns an unsupported output layout: raise an error if
outputs[2] is not a two-dimensional tensor instead of returning uncapped
outputs. Preserve the existing slicing behavior for supported layouts so the
candidate limit remains enforced.

gliner skips whitespace-only texts without encoding them, but the
bi-encoder token count still tokenized them and billed their special
tokens. Count only the texts gliner encodes, in its batches of 8, and
report zero for the skipped positions.

The relation candidate cap slices the tensors that represent_spans
returns. If a gliner release changes that layout, the cap used to pass
the outputs through unchanged, so relation scoring could run over every
candidate. Raise instead, so the bound holds or the request fails.

classification) and regenerate uv.lock for the gliner and gliclass
floors together.

Extract batching now keys options by their msgpack encoding and hands
the adapter the options as sent, so relation_labels no longer arrive as
a tuple rebuilt from the key. Replace the tuple test with one that runs
the real handler: identical relation_labels share a key, a different
order does not, and the adapter gets the list in request order.
