Why it matters
Teams that feed hard PDFs into AI systems could see parsing costs fall by about 44%, based on the drop from 45 to 25 credits per page. Per the post, existing users would not need to change their integration. Next, watch whether the lower credit rate holds and how the OCRia-1.5 models perform on real document workloads.
