## About

Upstage builds large language models and document processing tools for businesses. Its Document Parse product converts PDFs, scans and emails into clean, machine-readable text that can feed AI pipelines. Information Extract pulls structured key-value data from invoices, claims and contracts. Solar LLM is a family of language models, and Solar Pro 4 and Solar Mini 4 are the newest versions listed on the site.

The company says its products are aimed at industries where accuracy matters, including insurance, healthcare, financial services and manufacturing. Customers named on the site use them to automate claims, underwriting, medical records, lending, KYC and quality documentation, and to search long documents for answers.

Developers can build directly with the Upstage API or try the products in the Upstage Console and Playground. Businesses can also buy and deploy through AWS, Azure and Snowflake marketplaces, or run the models inside their own infrastructure, with on-premises deployment offered for teams with strict compliance rules.

Pricing is not published as a single figure. The site points to API pricing for Console rates, shows marketplace listings with billing by tokens, pages or host-hours, and asks companies to contact the team for private offers and annual commitments. A free access program is offered to eligible schools, hospitals and nonprofits for up to one year.

The site lists a CB Insights AI 100 recognition for 2025, more than 140 papers at top AI conferences, and first place on the Hugging Face Open LLM Leaderboard. Upstage Co., Ltd. is based in Gangnam-gu, Seoul.
