Personally I find it frustrating they called it "agentic" parsing when there's nothing agentic about it. Not surprised the quality is lackluster.
If you want to try agentic parsing we added support for sonnet-3.7 agentic parse and gemini 2.0 in llamaParse. cloud.llamaindex.ai/parse (select advanced options / parse with agent then a model)
However this come at a high cost in token and latency, but result in way better parse quality. Hopefully with new model this can be improved.

This is a nice UI for end users, however it seems to be a seems wrapper on top of mutool, which is distributed as AGPL. If you want to process PDF locally, legally and safely you should use their CLI instead.
Parsing docs using LVM is the way forward (also see OCR2 paper released last week, people are having ablot of success parsing with fine tunned Qwen2).
The hard part is to prevent the model ignoring some part of the page and halucinations (see some of the gpt4o sample here like the xanax notice:https://www.llamaindex.ai/blog/introducing-llamaparse-premiu...)
However this model will get better and we may soon have a good pdf to md model.
Does it handles multiple input documents for extraction?
yes, you can pass an array of path to the extract function.
- An image will take 10x token on gpt-4o-mini vs gpt-4.
- On gemini 2.5 pro output token are token except if you are using structure output, then all character are count as a token each for billing.
- ...
Having the price per token is nice, but what is really needed is to know how much a given query / answer will cost you, as not all token are equals.
