Today we’re releasing OCRia-1, a frontier VLM for document parsing that sets a new SOTA in accuracy, cost, and latency. It not only sets a new high score on ParseBench (87.4), but also leads in three 3rd-party benchmarks: olmOCR-bench* (83.5 overall, 92.9 on tables!), PulseBench-Tab (84.1), and fr-bench-pdf2md (72.1). OCRia-1 is really, really good at parsing complex tables: nested headers, merged cells, irregular grids, scanned tables, and more. It is also fantastic at parsing complex unlabeled charts (line, bar, pie, technical diagrams), and preserving complex formatting. Most real-world enterprise documents contain at least one of the these, whether it’s a big tax withholding table or a public economic report. It is a 4B model and outperforms all other models within a similar parameter class: LightOnOCR-3, Chandra-OCR 2, Mistral OCR 4.1, and more. It is also extremely fast. All credit goes to our research team, who spent countless hours on curating a diverse dataset, tuning our training pipeline, and squeezing every last drop out of model optimization so that it can process billions of pages at scale. OCRia-1 as a base is powering all of our modes within LlamaParse (cost-effective, agentic, agentic plus), so you can access its capabilities today! If you’re processing millions/billions of documents at scale, we’re offering enterprises that book a demo up to $3k in credits for a guided evaluation.** *olmOCR-bench scores are adjusted based on unifying rendering at 1,288px for all models **enterprise POC credits apply to eligible organizations that book a demo

Doc Chai is real, and on Thursday you can drink it ☕ We’re throwing a launch party for our first drink with @useCorgi Cafe: an iced toasted brown sugar chai! For many of us on the team, chai is what home tastes like. Come say hi, 600+ people have RSVP'ed and the first 100 drinks are on us. We'll have a live DJ to wake everyone up as well :) 8-11 AM, Corgi Cafe, FiDi 🦙 RSVP link in the comments below.

Today we’re introducing Extract v2.5 - a series of frontier agents tuned for document extraction. The agents (cost-effective, agentic, agentic plus) are tuned for value accuracy and grounding. Our extraction agents outperform Opus 5.5 and GPT-6 Sol while being 30%-4x cheaper. We’ve made massive improvements on complex extraction over * long lists (86.1% -> 95.5% on our agentic tier) * records spanning pages (85.5% -> 96.5%) * scanned forms (90.9% -> 95.7%) We’ve also launched the following features: ✅ Advanced citations: we locate bounding boxes for all supporting values for an inferred field, even if there's not an exact match. ✅ Structural Reasoning: we tailor document extraction algorithms depending on the type, layout, and information Our extraction agents are SOTA in price-performance on ExtractBench, across a wide range of cost points. We are the best tool for document extraction across documents of any complexity. Blog: llamaindex.ai/blog/introduci… All of these are available on LlamaParse: cloud.llamaindex.ai/ . Come check it out!
