🧠 One Model to Classify, Verify, and Guard — Meet GLiClass-Instruct
When we first released GLiClass, it was a fast, zero-shot text classifier that could rival cross-encoders at a fraction of the cost. But classification alone wasn't enough. Our real ambition was a single, lightweight model that could handle the diverse range of text-understanding tasks via classification.
We are excited to announce GLiClass-Instruct – a leap forward that transforms GLiClass from a classifier into an instruction-following, multi-task engine.
What's new:
▪️ Hierarchical labeling: organize labels into structured groups for complex taxonomies
▪️ In-context learning via examples: provide few-shot examples to adapt on the fly, no fine-tuning needed
▪️ Prompting support: guide classification behavior with natural-language task descriptions
▪️ EWC for preventing catastrophic forgetting: add new capabilities without losing old ones
▪️ 3x faster inference thanks to FlashDeBERTa
New multi-task capabilities:
Beyond topic classification and sentiment analysis, GLiClass now supports:
▪️ Hallucination detection: verify whether LLM outputs are grounded in context
▪️ Rule-following verification: check if content complies with custom guidelines
▪️ Safety classification: detect prompt injections, jailbreaks, and harmful requests
These tasks are crucial for building reliable and efficient agentic systems, where every LLM output needs to be verified, every user input needs to be screened, and every response needs to follow the rules, all at minimal latency.
We release 3 instruction-following models (edge, base, large), with the large model matching SoTA classification models while unlocking entirely new task categories.

Meet **GLinker** — an ultra-fast, modular, **zero-shot entity linking** framework 🚀
When we introduced the **GLiNER bi-encoder** in 2024, it enabled efficient zero-shot NER across hundreds of entity types. But that was just the beginning. Our bigger goal was always clear: **linking text to millions of entities dynamically, without retraining**.
In other words: **true entity linking at scale** ⚡
This unlocks powerful applications:
▪️ More precise search with real-world entity disambiguation
▪️ Knowledge graph construction across diverse document collections
▪️ Wikification — turning raw text into richly linked, navigable knowledge
After nearly two years of research + engineering, this vision is now real.
We’re excited to release **GLinker** — a **production-ready**, zero-shot entity linking system powered by our novel **GLiNER bi-encoder**. It efficiently detects entity spans of any length and matches them directly to entity descriptions — **no retraining required**.
**Why GLinker?**
▪️ Production-ready: multi-layer caching (Redis → Elasticsearch → PostgreSQL)
▪️ Research-friendly: fully configurable YAML pipelines
▪️ High performance: precomputed embeddings for bi-encoder models
▪️ Scalable by design: DAG-based execution + efficient batch processing
GLinker transforms raw text into **structured, disambiguated entity mentions**, bridging unstructured language with large, evolving knowledge bases.

🚀 Reproducing DeepSeek R1 for Text-to-Graph Extraction
I’ve been working on replicating DeepSeek R1, focusing on zero-shot text-to-graph extraction—a challenging task where LMs extract entities and relations from text based on predefined types.
🧠 Key Insight:
Language models struggle when constrained by entity/relation types. Supervised training alone isn’t enough, but reinforcement learning (RL), specifically Guided Reward Policy Optimization (GRPO), shows promise.
💡 Why GRPO?
It trains the model to generate structured graphs, optimizing multiple reward functions (format, JSON validity, and extraction accuracy).
It allows the model to learn from both positive and hard negative examples dynamically.
RL can be fine-tuned to emphasize relation extraction improvements.
📊 Early Results:
Even with limited training, F1 scores consistently improved, and we saw clear benefits from RL-based optimization. More training = better performance!
🔬 Next Steps:
We’re scaling up experiments with larger models and high-quality data. Stay tuned for updates! Meanwhile, check out one of our experimental models here:

🚀 Meet the new GLiNER architecture 🚀
GLiNER revolutionized zero-shot NER by demonstrating that lightweight encoders can achieve excellent results. We're excited to continue R&D with this spirit 🔥. Our new bi-encoder and poly-encoder architectures were developed to address the main limitations of the original GLiNER architecture and bring the following new possibilities:
🔹 An unlimited number of entities can be recognized at once.
🔹Faster inference when entity embeddings are preprocessed.
🔹Better generalization to unseen entities.
While the bi-encoder architecture can lack inter-label understanding, we developed a poly-encoder architecture with post-fusion. It achieves the same or even better results on many benchmarking datasets compared to the original GLiNER, while still offering the listed advantages of bi-encoders.
Now, it’s possible to run GLiNER with hundreds of entities much faster and more reliably.
