llama_index · x · 2026-11-02
Jerry Liu is promoting Extract Max Effort as "the most accurate document extraction system on the planet": it spends dynamic tokens reasoning over every visual detail across hundreds of pages.
- The accompanying blog explains that in enterprise POCs, the cost of missing or wrong values often matters more than per-page price — Max Effort targets that "pay more for quality" need
- Claims it is more accurate and still cheaper than frontier harnesses like astra xhigh and opus 5.5 xhigh
- Available via LlamaParse / Extract V2.6 with variable, compute-based billing
