Mistral OCR 25.03 is an Optical Character Recognition API that sets a new standard in document understanding. Unlike other models, Mistral OCR comprehends each element of documents—media, text, tables, equations—with unprecedented accuracy and cognition. It takes images and PDFs as input and extracts content in an ordered interleaved text and images.

As a result, Mistral OCR 25.03 is an ideal model to use in combination with a RAG system taking multimodal documents (such as slides or complex PDFs) as input.

Mistral OCR 25.03 excels in understanding complex document elements, including interleaved imagery, mathematical expressions, tables, and advanced layouts such as LaTeX formatting. The model enables deeper understanding of rich documents such as scientific papers with charts, graphs, equations and figures.
