This is bigger than people think
Reducto just launched r-1 mini, a model that turns PDFs and scans into AI-ready data for $1 per 1,000 pages.
The real story isn't the price. It's what the price unlocks.
Most AI apps can only use the documents they can afford to process. Teams were paying premium prices for their hardest docs and either sending the rest to cheaper tools or leaving them out entirely.
Your agent is only as smart as the data it can see:
→ A 100-page PDF: 10 cents
→ A 1-million-page archive: $1,000
→ Tables, merged cells, signatures and charts included
And it's not just cheaper.
In Reducto's launch tests, r-1 mini outperforms Azure Layout, Amazon Textract (Layout + Tables) and LlamaParse Agentic overall, while costing 92% less than LlamaParse Agentic.
Parsing is turning into infrastructure.
Instead of picking which documents your AI gets to see, you can now give it all of them.
