How to read this leaderboard

A higher overall score means more of the page structure survived parsing. Read the dimension scores with it: a model can lead on tables and content faithfulness while scoring near zero on visual grounding. Differences of a point or two between reasoning settings of the same model are within normal run variation.

Operator receipt: 149 sourced rows are currently displayable on this page; the leading published row is LlamaParse Agentic Plus at 88.82%.

Honest limit: Results belong to one configuration under LlamaIndex's harness and prompts. Reasoning settings change both score and cost, so a model's best row is not its cheapest. Open-weight and local parsers list no cost because they are self-hosted. LlamaIndex publishes the benchmark and sells LlamaParse, which leads the board; the dataset and evaluation code are public, so the results can be rerun.

How we show ParseBench

LlamaIndex scores document parsers on 2,078 human-verified enterprise pages in five dimensions: tables, charts, content faithfulness, semantic formatting and visual grounding. The overall score is the mean of the five. We mirror the leaderboard CSV the public site loads: 149 configurations across 113 parsers and models, with cost in cents per page where a list price exists.

Vision-language models appear once per reasoning setting, because the setting changes both score and cost. Each catalog model's page shows its best configuration with the setting in its note; parsing APIs, OCR specialists and local parsers keep their source names.

Every row is one configuration under LlamaIndex's harness, and LlamaIndex sells LlamaParse, which leads the board. The dataset and evaluation code are public. The table is display only and does not enter model rankings. Kaggle Benchmarks reruns the task through its own harness with different numbers; that board is the separate table below.

The published ParseBench snapshot places LlamaParse Agentic Plus first at 88.82%. The third row is 7.22 points behind. The broader top-10 range is 11.59 points, so the table still separates the published systems.

149 configurations have been evaluated on ParseBench. The benchmark falls in the Multimodal & Grounded category. ParseBench is currently displayed for reference but excluded from the scoring formula, so it does not directly affect overall rankings.

Tasks

2,078 human-verified enterprise pages from insurance, finance and government documents

Format

Deterministic test rules per page; five dimension scores and their mean, in percent

Difficulty

No method is strong on all five dimensions; charts and visual grounding separate the field

ParseBench judges a parser on whether its output keeps the structure an agent needs rather than on text similarity. Each page carries deterministic test rules in five dimensions: tables (structure, merged cells, hierarchical headers), charts (data points, series, axes), content faithfulness (omissions and hallucinations), semantic formatting (strikethrough, superscripts, emphasis, heading levels) and visual grounding (element localization and classification). The overall score is the mean of the five dimension scores. The leaderboard lists every configuration LlamaIndex ran, from commercial parsing APIs and cloud document services to proprietary and open-weight vision-language models at each reasoning setting and local open-source parsers, with cost in cents per page where a list price exists. We mirror the leaderboard CSV from the ParseBench repository, which the public site loads at runtime, and store each catalog model's best configuration on its row.

Questions

What does ParseBench measure?

ParseBench measures whether a parser's output keeps what an agent needs from a page: table structure, chart values, the full text without omissions or inventions, meaningful formatting and the position of each element. Every page carries deterministic test rules, and the overall score is the mean of the five dimension scores.

How does this table differ from the Kaggle rerun below it?

This table mirrors LlamaIndex's own leaderboard: 148 configurations including commercial parsing APIs, open-weight OCR models and local parsers. Kaggle Benchmarks reruns the same task on 33 models through its own harness and publishes different numbers for the same models, so its board is shown as a separate table on this page and never merged.

Why is ParseBench display only?

Each row is one configuration under LlamaIndex's harness, reasoning settings change both score and cost, and the publisher sells the leading system. The board is public and reproducible, which is why we show every row, but the results compare those exact runs and do not enter BenchLM's model rankings.
