Why is Anthropic not adding OCR models to their family?
Heat trend

The percentage is based on available heat signal, not comment count or independent people.
Claude model activity is surfacing — worth tracking for capability changes, ecosystem impact, and availability.
I was always wondering why the big providers like and Anthropic don't add OCR models to their model family. In my opinion this would help a lot to build better agents with features like scheduled tasks for example.
Because if i think of an email agent that reads in all attachments and classifies them or extracts data i think its 1. to expensive to read all documents with the big LLMs like Opus and 2. not as precise as a good OCR model.
So why is this, am I missing something here? In my view this sounds like an obvious feature they need to add.
