Just commenting here to say the GP is spot on.
If you already have a high optimized pipeline built yesterday, then sure keep using it.
But if you start dealing with PDF today, just use Gemini. Use the most human readable formats you can find because we know AI will be optimized on understanding that. Don't even think about "stitching XML files" blahblah.
Except it's more expensive, hallucinates and you are vendor locked.
Why do you say you are vendor locked? There are 4-5 top of the line LLMs that support structured output and compete with Gemini. Once an LLM vendor has the pipeline built for structured output, they'll pass each new model through the pipeline.
