It's cheap at $4/1k, but I'm hesitant to even benchmark this one again since the previous versions were all "98% accurate based on internal benchmarks of 4 pdfs" and ended up falling short of almost everything else on the market [1].

Even in this one, they just report that OlmOCRBench and OmniDocBench have "known limitations" and that's why they report flagship numbers from their internal benchmark.

True, same conclusion, but the few samples I tried showed some real improvements since dec 2025 version.

That's extremely cheap. I wonder how the companies making a living out of this will survive. They certainly don't charge $0.004 per scan.
