today, we're launching our new Parse Router
extend now runs a classifier on every page, and decides whether to run our performance or light engine for parsing (on a page-by-page basis)
tldr:
- most documents have a mix of complex pages intermingled with simpler ones. The router classifies and routes each page so you get the best blended performance x cost for any given document
- you pay per page for whatever was used: 0.5 credits for our Light engine, 2 credits for Performance
- our classifier works by scoring each page on layout, text quality, tables, form fields, and checkboxes
- on RealDoc-Bench, enabling the parse router scored 89% (close to Performance's 90.9%) while using significantly fewer credits
Parse Router is now our recommended default for most customers with mixed document payloads in mortgage, insurance, healthcare, and legal
it's live today, set the engine to `parse_auto` and give it a shot on your own docs
Today we're shipping Parse Auto-Router: it picks Light or Performance Parse for every page in a document, so you don't have to.
Clean pages go to Light, hard pages go to Performance. Set engine to parse_auto to try it today.
