A Deployability Study Puts Nine On-Device Entity Recognizers Against Latency and Output Validity
The comparison spans spaCy, GLiNER encoders and locally run Qwen3 and DeepSeek-R1 models from 13 million to 8 billion parameters, scored partly against labels built by a cross-family judge panel.
A new study argues that the question for on-device extraction is not leaderboard accuracy but whether a model is deployable at all. The paper evaluates nine systems across three paradigms and a parameter range from 13 million to 8 billion:…
