Working around the 100 Model limit for Compose feature

Hi there. I've been demoing FR for a couple days and have been pretty impressed with the results. I'd like to use FR but it seems to have 1 potential limitation that could effect this which is the 100 model limit when composing models together.

We deal with many many (100-200) different types of custom forms. Some are very similar but it feels like I'll need to train custom models for each of these.

I'd love to be able to compose all of these together so I can simply upload a document and compose will figure it out from there.

My question is:

  • Is the 100 models a hard limit?
  • Are there any methods/recommendations in cases like this where I'll be training more than 100 models?

Thank you!

    @Matt F Yes, there is a validation around the limit currently when you call compose option. So, the limit cannot be increased with the no. of custom model ids that can be included in one compose model id.

    You can use compose model ids in a new compose model id but the limits still apply in this case too. For example: If you use X compose model id with 10 different model ids for a particular form type and then if you would like to create a new compose model id Y with X and another 10 custom model ids of a different form the new compose model id Y contains 20 custom model ids which also includes the initial set. This functionality does help you isolate the custom compose models for a particular form type but the limitation cannot be exceeded.

    We will pass this feedback to the product team to check if there is a possibility of increasing the limit in the future. Thanks!!
