The tagline boasts that it is "introducing the world’s best document understanding API". So, holding them to their marketing seems fair

Isn't anyone who releases anything putting "the world's best blablabla" on their page nowadays? I've become entirely blind to it.

If they put it, and it's subpar, I write off the product.

... And? We're judging it for the merits of the technology it purports to be, not the pockets of the people that bankroll them. Probably not fair - sure, but when I pick my OCR, I want to pick SOTA. These comparisons and announcements help me find those.

comparisons to more outputs coming soon!
