LandingAI Releases Agentic Document Extraction Gen2 with DPT-3 Pro and DPT-3 Verity
LandingAI shipped Agentic Document Extraction Gen2 with DPT-3 Pro and DPT-3 Verity parsing models, adding usage-based billing, block-tree outputs, and word-level grounding.
LandingAI has generally released Agentic Document Extraction Gen2, rebuilt around two parsing models: DPT-3 Verity for deterministic transcription of digital documents with per-word bounding boxes and confidence scores, and DPT-3 Pro for layout-aware parsing of scans, handwriting, non-Latin scripts, and LaTeX math. Billing changes from a flat 3 credits per page to a page-plus-output-character model (Pro: 1 credit/page plus 0.5 credits per 1,000 output characters on priority; Verity: 0.3 plus 0.2), with an asynchronous standard tier at 0.5x price and vendor-claimed 25-80% cost reductions. Parse v2 returns a document-page-block tree with semantic IDs, normalized bounding boxes, and line- or word-level atomic grounding, replacing flat chunks; Gen1 client code will not run against Gen2 endpoints. Deployment options include US/EU cloud, VPCs on AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud, Snowflake, and air-gapped on-premises environments, with automated model routing planned for fall 2026.
Ask HN: How do you manage skills files?
A Hacker News thread debates whether agent skill files are worth managing, citing 2–4x output-token reductions on flagship models in one company's testing.
Commenters argue skills are stored prompts that help less-technical users compensate for weak prompting, while one participant reports company testing found skills reduce flagship-model output tokens by roughly 2–4x, a gap growing with newer models. Others note skills can bundle reusable scripts and inline commands for deterministic context building, and that harnesses now execute backticked commands before the agent sees the skill. Some argue improving model capability makes downloadable skills redundant.
