Hi there Llama Enthusiasts! 🎄🦙
We hope you're enjoying the last days of 2025 and that some of you are getting a nice break this holiday season 🎄 Welcome to this week's edition of the LlamaIndex newsletter! We're excited to bring you major updates including the launch of LlamaParse v2 with simplified configuration and up to 50% cost reduction, secure coding agents with virtual filesystem isolation, and our new LlamaSplit API for automatic document separation. Plus, check out how companies are building production AI systems with our tools and explore our latest filesystem explorer agent powered by Gemini 3 Flash.
🤩 The Highlights:
- Secure Coding Agents with Virtual Filesystems: Build safe AI coding agents using AgentFS, LlamaParse, and Claude with virtual filesystem isolation, enhanced document processing, and workflow orchestration to prevent accidental file damage while maintaining full functionality. Blog Post, GitHub.
- Intelligence Company Case Study: See how the General Intelligence Company built Cofounder, an AI chief of staff that processes business documents at scale with continuous ingestion from Gmail, Slack, Linear, Notion, and GitHub every 30 minutes, achieving lower costs than managed RAG solutions. Case Study.
- LlamaParse v2 Launch: Major redesign with simpler configuration, better performance, and up to 50% cost reduction. Four simple tiers (Fast, Cost Effective, Agentic, Agentic Plus) replace complex configuration modes with automatic model routing. Blog Post.
🗺️ LlamaCloud:
- LlamaSplit Beta API: Automatically separate bundled documents into distinct sections using AI to analyze page content and group consecutive pages by category, perfect for processing mixed document bundles with natural language category definitions. Blog Post.
✨ LlamaAgents & Framework:
- Filesystem Explorer Agent: Built with Gemini 3 Flash, this tool-powered agent can read, grep, and glob your files while parsing unstructured content into clean Markdown using LlamaParse, featuring interactive design with clarifying questions and agentic workflows. GitHub, Workflows Guide, LlamaParse Guide.
- Enhanced Coding Agent Support: Expanded AgentFS integration to support OpenAI Codex in addition to Claude, enabling developers to use any OpenAI-compatible provider including Ollama and Hugging Face Inference API for more flexibility in safe coding experimentation. GitHub, Blog Post.
