Paperless-ngx is an extensive document management system. 3.0.0 has just been released.

It seems from a user/admin perspective that a lot of obsolete stuff under the hood got removed and they did some performance stuff, but it's also full of AI features. There's too many changes to read them all though, I wonder if there's a blogpost or something somewhere summarizing the main changes.

Personally I'll stay with 2.X for some days at least to see what people say about the new version. I'm not interested to have AI parse my documents, the alrogirthmic auto tagging etc works quite well.

True, although we must concede there is a difference between the simple machine learning already present in paperless and LLMs where, depending on quantization, CPU-based inference doesn't get you very far.

    Absolutely there's a difference. LLMs, when it comes to this specific task, are better. That's why they're being used here. It's a job they are uniquely well suited to. They do indeed come with high hardware requirements, which is why you're not forced to use them, and why they provide the option to offload the work to a cloud service.

    Personally I would absolutely not want to ever feed my documents into an off-device model, but the point of self-hosted software is that it does what you tell it to and they absolutely should include letting you make bad decisions.

    FTFY (although I share your judgment). No disagreement about the rest.
