Mistral OCR

Mistral AI has introduced Mistral OCR, an Optical Character Recognition API designed to extract content from images and PDFs. The model comprehends complex document elements including text, tables, mathematical equations, and interleaved images with high accuracy. It demonstrates state-of-the-art performance in benchmarks against competitors, supports multiple languages, and is optimized for speed. Mistral OCR is ideal for use in RAG systems, can produce structured outputs like JSON, and is available via an API or as a self-hosted option for sensitive data.
