🚀 paperless-gpt v0.24.0 - "The Intelligence Expansion"

Your AI-powered document processing just got smarter with Claude support, automatic document types, and a whole lot more!

🌟 Major New Features

🧠 Anthropic Claude API Support

Claude joins the party! You can now use Anthropic's powerful Claude models as your LLM provider. Perfect for users who prefer Claude's reasoning capabilities or want an alternative to OpenAI/Ollama.

• Set LLM_PROVIDER: "anthropic" and configure your ANTHROPIC_API_KEY to get started
  *Thanks to @kamcnally for this excellent addition! *

📁 Automatic Document Type Assignment

Paperless-gpt now intelligently suggests and assigns document types to your documents! Let the AI categorize your invoices, contracts, receipts, and more without lifting a finger.

• UI toggle to enable/disable document type generation
• View and edit suggested document types per document
• Set AUTO_GENERATE_DOCUMENT_TYPE: "true" to get started
  Brilliant contribution from @niklasfink!

🎨 Enhanced OCR UI & LLM Options

The OCR interface got a major facelift with more options for fine-tuning your LLM interactions—giving you greater control over how documents are processed.
Improved by @dawidkulpa!

🔧 Improvements & Fixes

🔗 Sub-Path Hosting Support

Hosting paperless-gpt behind a reverse proxy under a sub-path (e.g., /ai/) now works seamlessly! All frontend API calls are now sub-path aware, ensuring the Settings menu and other UI features load correctly.
*Thanks to @tldev-de! *

🐛 OCR Tag Loop Fix

Fixed a critical bug where the auto OCR tag would never be cleared when it was the last remaining tag, causing an endless processing loop.
*Fixed by @haigcd — closes #817! *

🏷️ Tag Removal Fix

Fixed handling of auto/manual tag removal to prevent sending empty arrays, which could cause issues with paperless-ngx.
Fixed by @itkevin — closes #659!

🤖 Reasoning Model Cleanup

OCR output now automatically strips <think> reasoning tags from models like DeepSeek-R1, giving you cleaner extracted text.
*Contributed by @Copilot! *

📄 Docling Provider Enhancements

• Updated Docling server API to v1
• Added support for PDF processing modes (pdf and whole_pdf)
• New environment variables for additional configuration
  Thanks to @T-Eberle and @Schweinhitti!
