A lot of PDFs have charts, and parsing charts is hard. All frontier models out of the box are notoriously bad at interpreting chart values without explicit guidance. There’s a lot of ways you can throw compute/tokens at the problem (gpt-5.2-pro is pretty good), and there’s still a bunch of edge cases we need to fix. We’ve created some awesome visual understanding capabilities within LlamaParse at a cheap price. Our agentic mode supports good approximate chart parsing at 1c per page (lower with cost optimization/discounts), less than our comparable solutions at a few cents a page. In the picture below we overlaid a source line chart with our parsed chart on top. For simple line charts it basically matches perfectly. Whether it’s a financial report or marketing presentation, check out our agentic mode + agentic parsing toggles to help OCR your docs! Sign up: https://www.llamaindex.ai/signup
