@burkov We recently implemented a solution for PDF invoice parsing, and the best result we got with Gemini Flash 2.5. It is probably best in terms of price - performance
If you work with PDF files using LLMs, you should know that the token count for a PDF file is different for different models.
The greediest one is Claude Sonnet 4.5: for a 25-page PDF file, the token count is 58,495.
The next after Anthropic by the greediness scale is GPT-5.2 with 21,969 tokens for the same document.
The most client-friendly model is Gemini 3 Pro with 12,883 tokens.
This makes a huge difference in cost. For Anthropic, it's $0.18. For Google, it will be $0.03.
This is just the input tokens. If you use the model for some sort of OCR, then multiply the input token cost by a factor of 5 to 10 depending on the model.
"Our database won't scale".
Database:
- 40GB total data
- 12 queries per second
- 0 indexes on query columns
- N+1 queries everywhere
- 200ms average query time
Solution:
- Shard across 12 databases
- Add read replicas
- Implement caching layer
- Switch to "web scale" NoSQL
Actual solution:
- Add 3 indexes
- Fix the N+1 queries
- 5ms query time
- $40/month Postgres
You don't have a scaling problem.
You have a competence problem.
The power of the Open source.
We faced an issue with X++ interpreter for base system classes. In 8h the bug was fixed.
Imagine if Microsoft Support operated at that speed :).
It does make you wonder — what actually stops them from doing the same?

@regina_suomesta А в чем было бы отличие если бы взяли обычную машину и поехали этим же маршрутом, останавливаясь в кемпингах в домиках, ну или на AirBnb в отелях? Стоимость будет такая же, но на вскидку экономится куча времени на раскладывание этого каравана?
Юху мы вернулись из путешествия на автодоме. Мне понравилось. Детям и мужу очень понравилось 😅 Давайте напишу про наш трип, машину, аренду, стоянки, кемпинги, еду, туалет!!!, развлечения и тд. Это был наш первый раз и мы путешествовали с тремя детьми по финляндии
