Summary
Jerry Liu presents a framework for document parsing across accuracy, cost, and latency tradeoffs, introducing LiteParse as an open-source, low-latency parsing tool for AI agent loops, along with LlamaParse for high-accuracy modes.

Fully solving document parsing includes covering every point on the Pareto curve of accuracy, cost, and latency: High-accuracy parsing - requires 99%+ accuracy, price insensitive. Especially relevant in regulated industries like financial service and insurance. Low cost, high volume parsing - requires inhaling a massive volume of documents as context for agents. Can run offline in a batch setting. Low latency and low cost parsing - these are use cases where the user is uploading a massive volume of files ad-hoc and in the agent loop (e.g. uploading 1k pdfs to claude cowork). Requires an extremely fast pass to make sense of the docs before a deeper dive
LlamaParse covers the cost-accuracy modes for document OCR with our document agent harness. LiteParse, our OSS project, is designed to be in the agent loop, and can route to deeper VLM-enabled modes.
I talked about this and other topics during the @aiDotEngineer talk today. Stay tuned for the slides!
