The document AI question I get asked most is which model to run. It's rarely what decides the outcome. How the PDF becomes text decides it. One benchmark had a parser recovering 75% of the words and 13% of the document structure, and no model reading that output can rebuild a table that already got flattened. Cost is the argument that ages fastest here. Hosted inference keeps getting cheaper, so a spreadsheet that justified self-hosting in January often flips by summer. A clause saying the data cannot leave your infrastructure doesn't flip.
