ReaderLM 0.5B

ReaderLM 0.5B is a trained HTML-to-Markdown converter. Jina built it from paired HTML and Markdown examples, with a stated 256K context. It is part of the first ReaderLM release rather than a general conversation model.

How the model works

The 0.5B size targets a smaller local inference footprint. The documented prompt is raw HTML and needs no instruction prefix. Its output is a text representation of the page content. Fetching URLs and executing browser scripts belong to the application that supplies that HTML, not to this model.ReaderLM 0.5B model details

Use and access

Weights remain available under CC BY-NC 4.0, alongside documented cloud marketplace packages. The provider now points users toward ReaderLM v2, but that does not remove this identifiable older checkpoint. The two first-generation sizes have distinct weights and are listed separately.ReaderLM 0.5B model detailsReaderLM 0.5B technical overview
