Introducing Parse, Cohere’s vision parsing model

Hey guys! El from Cohere here. 

Wanted to drop in really quickly to say today we launched Cohere Parse, our vision parsing model. It takes complicated files (including tables and embedded images) and gives back clean Markdown files, bounding boxes included. we recommend using it for building RAG systems, document indexing, and agentic retrieval. i’m personally into using it to save/digitize my own docs so they all live on my computer.

It outperforms competitors at 79.2 on ParseBench (compared to Mistral’s 74.5 and Azure Document Intelligence’s 74.3), but maybe even more importantly, it’s a lot more cost-effective- $1.5 per 1k pages through the Cohere API (or cheaper through our Model Vault). If you want, you can try it for free in our Hugging Face Space: https://huggingface.co/spaces/CohereLabs/cohere-parse

thanks and excited to hear what you think!
