Rust-Powered rs-trafilatura Supercharges Crawl4AI: 0.910 F1 on Benchmarks
Crawl4AI's default Markdown scraper is fine, but rs-trafilatura? It classifies pages, scores quality, and hits 0.910 F1 on tests. Here's why this Rust swap might actually stick.
⚡ Key Takeaways
- rs-trafilatura boosts Crawl4AI F1 to 0.910 on benchmarks with page-type awareness.
- Quality scores enable smart hybrid pipelines—heuristics first, LLM fallback for 8% edges.
- Rust speed + PyO3 integration means no subprocess overhead in async crawls.
