Hi there, LlamaParser!
It's been a big week for document extraction: we released our latest research at ExtractBench.ai, the most comprehensive benchmark for information extraction on complex docs. Everything is full reproducible, we published the leaderboard, open sourced the eval harness, published the dataset as well as shared our paper on the methodology (all easily accessible through our blog below). Meanwhile, Meta and NVIDIA open-sourced models built to run local on your laptop. Grab a coffee, here's the rundown.
