Access & pricing

Prices belong to an endpoint and billing tier. A provider listing does not guarantee access for every account or region.

API model ID
Not collected

Implicit service routing; no versioned public checkpoint selector established.

Access
Requires SNOWFLAKE.CORTEX_USER plus the function/input object privileges. Model RBAC is checked first; CORTEX_MODELS_ALLOWLIST can permit the underlying model/alias as fallback.
Regions
AWS Oregon, Ohio, N. Virginia, Ireland, Frankfurt, London, Sydney, Tokyo; Azure East US 2, West US 2, Netherlands; GCP Iowa and Dammam. Cross-region support for other eligible regions; not PR China.
API endpoint URL
AI_PARSE_DOCUMENT(file_object, {'mode': 'OCR', ...} [, return_error_details])Source for API endpoint URL (opens in a new tab)
Authentication
Model RBAC or an allowed underlying model/alias is required in addition to normal function/object privileges.Source for Authentication (opens in a new tab)
API parameters
OCR is default. page_split is supported only for PDF/PPTX/DOCX. page_filter uses zero-based start-inclusive/end-exclusive ranges and implies page_split. extract_images requires LAYOUT.Source for API parameters (opens in a new tab)
Stage security requirements
Client-side and server-side encrypted stages supported.Source for Stage security requirements (opens in a new tab)

Caching

Caching can reuse earlier input processing. Availability, lifetime and billing depend on the endpoint. A cache hit still generates a new response.

01 / INITIAL INPUTProcess & retain

The system processes eligible input and retains reusable state.

02 / LATER REQUESTCheck available state

Reuse depends on matching input, session state and the cache policy.

03 / CACHE HITReuse & generate

Reusing state can reduce repeated work. Any charges follow the billing rules below.

What the measurements say

No benchmark observations have been added for this model. We do not turn a vendor description into a performance score.

Latency and throughput depend on the host, request size, reasoning settings and load. There is no measured speed or global usage figure in this record.

The record behind the model

Why it is included

A named Snowflake-managed function model alias. This service record does not establish a distinct private foundation checkpoint or disclose every constituent model.
