Conversion
raw2md 0.2.0 made all three results with this command:

Key:
gemini_apiis thegemini-3.5-flash-litemodel. It runs the LLM inspection (-i) and the LLM post-processing (-p).- A DOCX source has no scan, so
report.mdhas no inspection step. --disable-image-extractionremoves the images. The captions stay in the text.- The time covers the full conversion, including the LLM steps.
License of the results
raw2md-engine made book.md and thesis.md with the unchanged surya weights by Datalab. The weights are licensed under a modified AI Pubs OpenRAIL-M license, and the license applies to their output too. The license text is in MODEL_LICENSE. The weights are available at https://github.com/datalab-to/surya/tree/v0.17.1. raw2md cleaned the output of the models and changed the text.
The pandoc converter made report.md from the DOCX source. The result is dedicated to the public domain under CC0 1.0, as the source is.
