A bigger model. A longer prompt. Another retry.
Before you pay for any of them, check what your AI actually read.
A single missing word can change an answer by a factor of a million. Here’s how. (And below: a free game to test your AI instincts.)

The answer was hiding above the number.
Imagine a report with “42” under “Revenue (€ millions).” The extracted text keeps the number but drops its header. Your AI reports €42.
The document meant €42 million.
That is an input problem. More reasoning cannot reliably recover a unit that never reached the model.
LlamaParse tackles this step. It turns complex documents into structured, AI-ready text, helping preserve the table layouts and context that give numbers their meaning.
Try the ten-page test:
Pick ten difficult pages from a PDF you actually use.
Parse them. Check figures, units and table headers against the original.
Ask your usual questions. Compare correct answers and the full cost: parsing, model calls, retries and review.
The metric to watch: cost per answer you can use. Include parsing, retries and review. That is practical token economics.

Can you make the right AI call under pressure?
I vibe-coded AI Survival Run to practise token efficiency (one of the most important skills to have in the AI era): meet the quality target without wasting tokens or money.
Jump rocks. Dodge meteors. At each ? tile, choose how to solve an AI problem: smaller model, caching, better retrieval, or more reasoning…
Get it right and race on faster. Get it wrong and learn why. Your goal: meet the quality target with the least waste.
