Clairic + Clef + LLM cascaded pipeline is 3.5x faster and 77% cheaper than an LLM alone

Clairic reads inputs in a single forward pass with no token generation, making it far cheaper and faster than LLMs.
In a live demo, a cascaded pipeline of Clairic + Clef + LLM is 3.5x faster and 77% cheaper than using an LLM alone. The model outputs strongly typed values, reads images, and returns confidence scores, probabilities, and character offsets for review — without hallucinating values, returning malformed JSON, or charging for output tokens.
