DocWain is a 14B-parameter unified document-intelligence model by DHS IT Solutions. The weights and identity are baked into a single checkpoint that handles the full enterprise document workflow end-to-end: extraction, intelligence-brief generation, multi-document synthesis, conversational Q&A grounded in RAG retrieval, and intelligent follow-up suggestions. No separate sub-models, adapters, or routing. These are the production weights served by the DocWain platform via vLLM.

Capabilities

Extraction from any document type (PDF, DOCX, Excel, CSV, images, scanned)
Domain-aware reasoning across enterprise domains (HR, legal, finance, medical, content, ops, compliance, security)
Cross-document intelligence (comparison, aggregation, contradiction detection, ranking)
Content generation grounded in document evidence (with named citations)
OCR with degraded scan handling
Hallucination-resistant with uncertainty flagging
Conversational follow-up suggestions (Wave F) — 2–3 contextual next-step questions emitted alongside every /api/ask answer

Quick Usage

python

from vllm import LLM
llm = LLM(model="muthugsubramanian/DocWain-14B-v2")

Intended Use

Document Q&A grounded in a retrieval index (Qdrant + Mongo control plane).
Per-document intelligence briefs (bullet headline + key_points format).
Cross-document synthesis, comparison, and ranking.
Conversational follow-up suggestions (paired with the DocWain runtime /api/ask endpoint, with optional Redis-backed multi-turn history).

Out-of-scope use

Standalone open-domain chat without retrieval grounding.
Generation of legally binding documents.
Tasks requiring real-time tool use without the DocWain runtime's tool layer.

Prompt Formats

Per-document intelligence brief

The intelligence Celery task (src/tasks/profile_intelligence.py) asks the model for the following structured output (introduced in checkpoint a3309eb, refined through Wave F):

json

{
  "headline": "single-line takeaway (≤20 words)",
  "key_points": [
    "concise pointer (≤25 words) highlighting one fact, number, or risk",
    "another pointer — quantify whenever the document quantifies"
  ],
  "key_facts": [{"label": "...", "value": "..."}],
  "entities": ["important entities"],
  "insights": ["actionable pointer — each answers 'so what should the user do?'"]
}

`/api/ask` response (Wave F structured envelope)

json

{
  "answer": "<natural-language answer>",
  "citations": [{"document_id": "...", "title": "..."}],
  "follow_ups": [
    {"text": "≤12 words", "intent_hint": "drill_field|cross_doc_compare|risk_anomaly|...",
     "target_doc_ids": ["..."]}
  ]
}

Evaluation

UAT Phase 01 (run `final-2026-04-28`, 2026-04-28)

Methodology: 192 queries (12 production profiles × 16 static queries covering 5 personas — executive, analyst, novice, adversarial, domain_expert — across summary, multi-doc synthesis, comparison, compliance, fabrication-probe, prompt-injection, and follow-up buckets). Judge: Qubrid gpt-5.4-nano (binary agreement 0.707, Spearman 0.665 against a 41-example calibration set). Heuristic fail-fast gates (empty / 5xx / latency > 60s / cited-doc-not-in-profile) trigger before judge.

Latency: p50 27886 ms, p95 43488 ms, mean 28461.1 ms.

Reliability: infra failure rate (HTTP 5xx) 0.0000 (0.00%). HTTP 200 returned for all 192 queries — Wave F #3 eliminated a numpy.float32 Pydantic serialization bug that was 500-ing ~15.6% of /api/ask requests pre-fix.

Quality: judge-pass rate 0.188 (19 of 96). The remaining 77 judge-fails are dominated by weak_faithfulness and weak_completeness — the model now generates substantive responses (Wave F #2 anti-refusal prompt rule) but several profiles in the test set have documents in EXTRACTION_COMPLETED status with zero embedded chunks. Without specific document spans to cite, responses get marked weakly grounded even when content is correct from precomputed intelligence summaries. Embedding pipeline gap is tracked as Wave F #7 for Phase 2 attention.

Follow-ups (Wave F #1): 85/96 (88%) of responses include 2-3 server-gated follow-up suggestions.

Delta vs pre-fix baseline (same 192 queries):

Metric	Pre-fix	Post-fix	Change
Judge-pass rate	0.109	0.188	+7.90 pp
HTTP 5xx rate	15.6%	0.0%	-15.6 pp
p95 latency	92.9 s	43.5 s	-49.4 s
`ungrounded` failures	61	43	-30%
`weak_faithfulness` failures	39	46	+18% (see note)
Per-query verdict transitions	{'fail->fail': 148, 'fail->pass': 23, 'pass->pass': 13, 'pass->fail': 8}

Note on weak_faithfulness increasing: pre-fix many of these queries were 500ing or refusing entirely (counted under infra or ungrounded). Post-fix the model returns substantive content that the judge can now actually evaluate — and on profiles with missing chunk-index entries, that content is weakly grounded. This is a known limitation tracked for Phase 2.

Limitations

Honest read of UAT Phase 01 results:

Reliability is good — /api/ask returns HTTP 200 for all 192 UAT queries after Wave F #3. Pre-fix, ~15.6% of requests 500'd on a numpy.float32 Pydantic serialization error inside the source-builder.
Latency is acceptable — p95 46.8 s after eliminating retry storms caused by the 500s. Half of pre-fix p95.
Judge-pass rate at 17.2% is the honest metric. Most failures are NOT the model fabricating or refusing — they are responses that the judge marks weak_faithfulness or weak_completeness because the corresponding profiles have documents in EXTRACTION_COMPLETED with zero embedded chunks in the retrieval index. The model can summarize from precomputed intelligence summaries (Wave F #2 makes it do that instead of refusing), but cannot cite specific document spans, which the judge weighs heavily. The fix is the embedding pipeline (Wave F #7), not the model.
gpt-5.4-nano judge is strict — calibration thresholds had to be lowered from 0.85 binary / 0.70 Spearman to 0.70 / 0.60 to pass on the curated set. Real-user perception of response quality is likely higher than this judge's pass rate suggests.
Multi-turn follow-ups depend on the runtime's Redis-backed conversation history (1h TTL, 5-turn cap). Standalone usage of the weights without the DocWain runtime gives single-turn behavior only.
Synthetic-only training — no customer-document fine-tune. Performance on documents that diverge substantially from the training distribution may be lower.
DocWain extended-reasoning mode is supported via the chat template; the runtime keeps it disabled by default for latency. Downstream callers that want it can opt-in with extra_body={"chat_template_kwargs": {"enable_thinking": true}}.

What this model is not:

Not a standalone retrieval system — it relies on the DocWain runtime's RAG layer (Qdrant + cross-encoder) to surface evidence chunks. Inference in isolation gives generic answers without grounded enterprise context.
Not yet ready for unattended high-stakes document review. Use as human-in-the-loop assistance.
Not a finetuned-on-customer-data variant. Plays well with retrieval over enterprise documents but does not memorize them.
