MLLMs can replace OCR for document extraction, large-scale study finds

A large-scale benchmarking study comparing multimodal large language models (MLLMs) against traditional OCR-enhanced pipelines for document information extraction finds that image-only inputs can achieve comparable performance. The research evaluates multiple out-of-the-box MLLMs on business documents and proposes an automated hierarchical error analysis framework using LLMs to diagnose failure modes.

Study questions whether OCR is still necessary for document extraction with modern MLLMs

A large-scale benchmarking study finds that modern multimodal large language models (MLLMs) can extract information from business documents nearly as well as traditional OCR+MLLM pipelines. The research introduces an automated error analysis framework and suggests that careful schema design and prompt engineering can further close the performance gap.
