l1m.io

Hello hunters! After struggling with complex prompt engineering and unreliable parsing, we built L1M, a simple API that lets you extract structured data from unstructured text and images. This is actually a component we unbundled from our larger because it was so useful on its own. It's fully open source (MIT license) and you can: - Use with text or images (recognizes menu items, receipts, etc.) - Bring your own model (OpenAI, Anthropic, or any compatible API) - Run locally with Ollama for privacy - Cache responses with customizable TTL The code is at https://github.com/inferablehq/l1m with SDKs for Node.js, Python, and Go. Would love to hear if this solves a pain point for you or how you might use it!
