OpenRouter opens an alpha API for typed document extraction
OpenRouter launched an Extractions API in alpha for pulling named, typed fields from text, images and PDFs. Responses include values, source spans and confidence scores, with launch models from Cloudflare, Inception and ScaleDown.
Why it matters: The endpoint provides a common schema-driven surface for document extraction across specialist models. Alpha status and model-dependent confidence mean it should augment, not replace, deterministic validation on financial or regulated documents.
