I assume today typing in by hand is no longer needed, with text parsing from images being table stakes for LLMs.

No, there was a big post somewhere on the previous release two weeks ago of the DOS source showing just how incredibly hard of a challenge it was to properly input/OCR all the reams of source was.

This source is a lot smaller, but still annoying if they had to type it all in or OCR it.

You don’t need an llm to do this.

  • Of course, but I do know that it wasn't that long ago that OCR still wasn't great for many documents. These days LLMs can tackle it all.
