Smart Document Extraction with Business Rules — Gemma vs Qwen vs Ministral

In this video I show how Sparrow hints work — a powerful feature that goes beyond simple field extraction. Using a bank bonds portfolio document, I demonstrate how to define business rules directly in the hints file: formatting rules for European number standards, short name normalization, and risk classification logic derived from extracted fields. I test the same hints across three local vision models — Gemma 4 31B Dense, Qwen 3.6 27B Dense, and Ministral 3 14B. All processing runs locally with no cloud dependencies.
