An underrated issue with document parsing for RAG / agent use cases is dealing with multi-page tables - sometimes a big table spills over into multiple pages. This breaks chunking algorithms that generally operate at the page-level or smaller, and causes LLMs to lose the full view of the data. With LlamaParse Continuous Mode (in beta), you can now parse a document with multi-page tables and join them into a single table! This means you can now: 💡 Do contiguous chunking for RAG use cases OR 💡 Parse the table for text-to-SQL Check out our blog post highlighting this feature. Huge shoutout to Pierre-Loic Doulcet and Sacha Bron : Signup here: It's in beta, let us know your feedback!

As frontier models (e.g. Fable 5) continue to push the task horizon of knowledge work automation, it becomes ever more important for humans to be able to audit decisions back to the source context. It is extremely easy for agents to cite an entire document or document page, but much harder for them to trace back to the exact numbers/words/figures within a page. Today we've launched granular bounding boxes within LlamaParse, which allows you to obtain visual citations of every single word in the document. This allows human users to audit exact words and figures - not just general document regions or entire pages! Come check it out:

We built an AI agent that lets you vibe-code document extraction - high accuracy and citations over the most complex documents. Our latest release lets you upload documents as context. All you then have to do is describe what you want extracted in natural language. 💡 Our agent will then read the document with file tools to infer the right schema, validation rules, and other pre/postprocessing logic. ✅ It will give you back a workflow that can extract over thousands/millions of documents at scale. You can still of course review and edit every output before approving. Stop handling paperwork manually; just upload files, describe your task, and let our agent handle the rest. Our vision for LlamaAgents is to provide the most advanced and easy-to-use way for you to orchestrate document work. Walkthrough: Check it out: If you’re interested in reducing the operational burden of document extraction (invoices, claims, onboarding forms), come talk to us!

Introducing LiteParse - the best model-free document parsing tool for AI agents 💫 ✅ It’s completely open-source and free. ✅ No GPU required, will process ~500 pages in 2 seconds on commodity hardware ✅ More accurate than PyPDF, PyMuPDF, Markdown. Also way more readable - see below for how we parse tables!! ✅ Supports 50+ file formats, from PDFs to Office docs to images ✅ Is designed to plug and play with Claude Code, OpenClaw, and any other AI agent with a one-line skills install. Supports native screenshotting capabilities. We spent years building up LlamaParse by orchestrating state-of-the-art VLMs over the most complex documents. Along the way we realized that you could get quite far on most docs through fast and cheap text parsing. Take a look at the video below. For really complex tables within PDFs, we output them in a spatial grid that’s both AI and human-interpretable. Any other free/light parser light PyPDF will destroy the representation of this table and output a sequential list. This is not a replacement for a VLM-based OCR tool (it requires 0 GPUs and doesn’t use models), but it is shocking how good it is to parse most documents. Huge shoutout to Logan Markewich and Clelia Bertelli (🦙/acc) for all the work here. Come check it out: Repo:

Document OCR benchmarks are still an open problem Existing document OCR benchmarks are either too narrowly focused on a specific type (e.g. FinTabNet, ChartQA), or on documents that aren’t reflective of real-world tasks (e.g. OmniDocBench, OlmOCR-bench on over academic papers) ParseBench is a step towards solving this problem. * It tries to comprehensively cover real-world document distributions within the enterprise. * It contains comprehensive evaluations across 5 different dimensions (tables, charts, content faithfulness, formatting, grounding). * It tries to use metrics that optimize for agent semantic understanding rather than structural similarity. We released this yesterday, and there’s a TON of content: 1. Whitepaper 2. HF dataset 3. Github repo 4. Blog 5. Video And today, we’re excited to feature our home page website for ParseBench 💫 come check it out! Take a look at some of our other materials if you’re interested: Blog: Paper:

We’re open sourcing the first document OCR benchmark for the agentic era, ParseBench. Document parsing is the foundation of every AI agent that works with real-world files. ParseBench is a benchmark that measures parsing quality specifically for agent knowledge work: ✅ It optimizes for semantic correctness (instead of exact similarity) ✅ It has the most comprehensive distribution of real-world enterprise documents It contains ~2,000 human-verified enterprise document pages with 167,000+ test rules across five dimensions that matter most: tables, charts, content faithfulness, semantic formatting, and visual grounding. We benchmarked 14 known document parsers on ParseBench, from frontier/OSS VLMs to specialized parsers to LlamaParse. Here are some of our findings: 💡 Increasing compute budget yields diminishing returns - Gemini/gpt-5-mini/haiku gain 3-5 points from minimal to high thinking, at 4x the cost. 💡 Charts are the most polarizing dimension for evaluation. Most specialized parsers score below 6%, while some VLM-based parsers do a bit better. 💡 VLMs are great at visual understanding but terrible at layout extraction. GPT-5-mini/haiku score below 10% on our visual grounding task, all specialized parsers do much better. 💡 No method crushes all 5 dimensions at once, but LlamaParse achieves the highest overall score at 84.9%, and is the leader in 4 out of the 5 dimensions. This is by far the deepest technical work that we’ve published as a company. I would encourage you to start with our blog and explore our links to Hugging Face to GitHub. All the details are in our full 35-page (!!) ArXiv whitepaper. 🌐: Blog: 📄 Paper: 💻 Code: 📊 Dataset: 🎥 YouTube:

Baidu Inc. just dropped PaddleOCR-VL-1.5, and it’s not just another OCR model. This is a fully open-source OCR model with just 0.9B parameters, built specifically for production-grade document understanding. And the results speak loudly 👇 On OmniDocBench V1.5, the most authoritative global document parsing benchmark, PaddleOCR-VL-1.5 ranks #1 overall, hitting 94.5% overall accuracy, outperforming models like DeepSeek-OCR2. As the first OCR model natively supporting irregular document layout positioning, it perfectly solves OCR pain points in production for complex structured business documents such as financial reports and insurance forms. While a lot of the industry is racing toward bigger models, PaddleOCR is betting on something smarter: small parameters + high performance + open source + real usability. That combination is exactly what scalable document intelligence needs right now. Demo / API → Open source → Model → Curious to see how teams start building on top of this.

Claude Cowork is great at reading markdown files, and not great at reading PDFs 📑 I made a simple command that lets you batch parse PDFs -> markdown in an output folder, so you can just point Cowork to it. It lets the agent understand massive amounts of docs much more quickly and accurately (much lower hallucination errors over complex visuals, tables, etc.) In this example, after I parsed 100+ Supreme Court filings into markdown, cowork is able to return the answer in seconds. My wrapper is a simple extension of our very own semtools. Very DIY, will clean this up:

“Chat with your PDF” still fails on ChatGPT/Claude when the doc is too complex 📉🧾 . If it’s a complicated financial report with scanned tables, you’re going to get back hallucinated values in your analysis! Check out the video 🎬 - in the first part, Claude gives back hallucinated values on the scanned tables in the equity research report. Having a proper document MCP server capable of high-accuracy parsing/indexing can help 💡. In the second part of the video I plug in LlamaCloud as an MCP tool to help with doc parsing and retrieval - it is fully able to render the scanned table in 2D format. You can set one up for yourself in 5 mins in the UI, no coding required. LlamaCloud: MCP Server:
