Introducing LiteParse - the best model-free document parsing tool for AI agents 💫✅ It’s completely open-source and free.✅ No GPU required, will process ~500 pages in 2 seconds on commodity hardware✅ More accurate than PyPDF, PyMuPDF, Markdown. Also way more readable - see below for how we parse tables!!✅ Supports 50+ file formats, from PDFs to Office docs to images✅ Is designed to plug and play with Claude Code, OpenClaw, and any other AI agent with a one-line skills install. Supports native screenshotting capabilities.We spent years building up LlamaParse by orchestrating state-of-the-art VLMs over the most complex documents. Along the way we realized that you could get quite far on most docs through fast and cheap text parsing.Take a look at the video below. For really complex tables within PDFs, we output them in a spatial grid that’s both AI and human-interpretable. Any other free/light parser light PyPDF will destroy the representation of this table and output a sequential list.This is not a replacement for a VLM-based OCR tool (it requires 0 GPUs and doesn’t use models), but it is shocking how good it is to parse most documents.Huge shoutout to @LoganMarkewich and @itsclelia for all the work here.Come check it out: https://t.co/qmpDwlkidZRepo: https://t.co/JNER0mVcB8 twitter.com/i...
