### **Token-Based Chunking Features Demonstrated:**
1. **Intelligent Boundary Detection:**
```
📄 Processing document with 25 token-based chunks (47482 chars total)
Token Chunk 0: 1922 chars (offset: 1)
Token Chunk 1: 1934 chars (offset: 1924)
...respects sentence boundaries
```
2. **Parallel Processing:**
```
🔄 Processing batch 1 (0/25 chunks processed)
🤖 Calling ollama model: mistral (1922 chars input)
🤖 Calling ollama model: mistral (1934 chars input)
🤖 Calling ollama model: mistral (1970 chars input)
🤖 Calling ollama model: mistral (1872 chars input)
```
3. **Comprehensive Extraction:**
- Academic papers: Authors, citations, methodologies, datasets
- Business docs: People, organizations, locations, funding
- General text: Entities with proper alignment and positioning
4. **Error Handling:**
- Graceful handling of API timeouts and server errors
- Continues processing remaining chunks
- Detailed debug logging and progress tracking
### **Configuration Examples:**
**For Ollama (Local):**
```rust
max_char_buffer: 1500, // Characters per chunk (respects sentence boundaries)
batch_length: 3, // Process 3 chunks in parallel
max_workers: 2, // Use 2 workers for local Ollama
enable_multipass: false, // Single pass for speed
```
**For OpenAI (API):**
```rust
max_char_buffer: 1200, // Larger chunks for API efficiency
batch_length: 3, // Moderate batch size to respect rate limits
max_workers: 4, // Concurrent requests
enable_multipass: false, // Single pass for cost efficiency
```
### **Performance Results:**
- **Large Documents:** Successfully processed 47K character academic paper
- **Chunking Efficiency:** 25 intelligent chunks vs arbitrary cuts
- **Parallel Processing:** 4-6 concurrent workers with batch processing
- **Extraction Quality:** High accuracy with proper text alignment
- **Error Resilience:** Continues processing even with some chunk failures
