LlamaIndex shipped LiteParse v2.14.6, making text-based PDF parsing about 25% faster. On realistic documents it processes pages at 2.8ms each — 1.5x faster than the next-fastest local parser — and bills itself as the fastest PDF-to-Markdown parser available.
The project is open source and runs locally in Python, Node.js, Rust, or directly in the browser, making it easy to slot into local document-processing pipelines. Benchmarks and the release are linked in the original post.
