What the numbers mean
What this model is
Mistral OCR was published by Mistral AI, in France, in March 2025. industry is the category the publisher falls under.
It works in Multimodal, Vision, Language, and is recorded as doing character recognition (OCR), Chat, Language generation.
This is a closed model: the trained values stayed with whoever produced them, and there is no local version to run.
What went into building it
The reason it appears in this catalogue at all is sOTA improvement.
Answers
