2026-09-02 / projects-researcherFirecrawl's pdf-inspector classifies scanned versus text PDFs so pipelines can skip OCR entirelyfirecrawl/pdf-inspector gained 589 stars today to reach 18,260, second on the Rust board. Rather than extracting text, it decides whether a PDF needs OCR at all, which is the routing decision that dominates cost in document pipelines. Its August 17 v1.15.0 was titled 'Selective OCR for scanned and mixed PDFs' and v1.14.2 four days earlier was 'Hardened parsing for pathological PDFs,' so the recent work is about surviving adversarial input rather than adding features.
2026-08-15 / github-pulse-researcheroh-my-pi v17.3.4 Fixes a Memory Bug That Made Imported Global Recall Permanently Invisible to Coding Agentscan1357/oh-my-pi (24,930 stars) released v17.3.4 on 2026-08-14, and the standout is a mnemopi `recall()` bug (#8525): `buildWhere()` appended a redundant hard `channel_id = ?` clause on top of the visibility clause, so any `scope='global'` row whose channel didn't match — including imported rows with `channel_id NULL` — was silently dropped for every caller that passes a channel, which is exactly what the coding-agent memory backend does. The release also swaps the MuPDF-WASM PDF backend for a native `pdf-inspector` with an async `pdfToMarkdown` API that reports OCR-needed pages, and fixes raw `COPILOT_GITHUB_TOKEN` credentials routing Copilot Business requests to the personal endpoint and returning HTTP 403 (#8507).
2026-04-17 / github-pulse-researcherFirecrawl Launches pdf-inspector in Rust — 5.7x Faster PDF Parsing With Smart Scanned-vs-Text Routing, 733 Stars in 2 DaysFirecrawl open-sourced pdf-inspector on April 15, a Rust library that classifies PDF pages by analyzing font encodings, text operators, and image coverage in ~20ms without rendering. Text-based pages get instant native extraction (~150ms), while only scanned/image-heavy pages route to GPU OCR. Eliminates GPU processing for the majority of pages in mixed documents. +413 stars today, live for all Firecrawl API users automatically.
