Pulpie Orange Base extracts the main content from raw HTML, stripping navigation, ads, sidebars, and footers. It is an encoder that labels every HTML block as content or boilerplate in a single forward pass, so it approaches state-of-the-art extraction quality while running far faster and cheaper than autoregressive extractors.
At 610M parameters it sits between Orange Small and Orange Large, scoring 0.863 ROUGE-5 F1. For most use cases Orange Small offers a better speed/quality trade-off; choose Base when you want a little more headroom than Small without the cost of the 2.1B teacher.
Usage
The easiest way to use this model is through the pulpie package:
pip install pulpie
from pulpie import Extractor
extractor = Extractor(model="orange-base")
result = extractor.extract(html)
print(result.markdown) # clean Markdown
print(result.html) # clean HTML
print(result.n_main, result.n_other) # blocks kept vs dropped
Extractor auto-detects CUDA, Apple MPS, then CPU. See the GitHub README for batch and multi-GPU usage.
How it works
Pulpie runs a four-stage pipeline:
- Simplify — remove scripts, styles, and formatting noise; tag each block with a unique ID.
- Chunk — pack blocks into sequences of up to 8,192 tokens separated by
<|sep|>markers (~80% of pages fit in one chunk). - Classify — a single encoder forward pass labels every block (at its
<|sep|>position) as content or boilerplate. - Reconstruct — return the kept blocks as HTML, or convert to Markdown.
This model is a token-classification head over EuroBERT-610m, distilled from the 2.1B Pulpie Orange Large teacher (KL-divergence 0.7 + hard-label cross-entropy 0.3, temperature 2.0).
