Re: Mistral OCR 3
#2there has been so many open source OCR in the last 3 months that would be good to compare to those especially when some are not even 1B params and can be run on edge devices.
- paddleOCR-VL
- olmOCR-2
- chandra
- dots.ocr
I kind of miss there is not many leaderboard sections or arena for OCR and CV and providers hosting those. Neglected on both Artificial Analysis and OpenRouter.

> can someone help folks at Mistral find more weak baselines to add here? since they can't stomach comparing with SoTA....

#4It seems like Mistral is just chasing around sort of "the fringes" of what could be useful AI features. Are they just getting out-classed by OAI, Google, Anthropic?
It seems like EU in general should be heavily invested in Mistral's development, but it doesn't seem like they are.

I think there is a lot of broad support, but they're just kind of hamstrung by EU regulation on AI development at this stage. I think the end game will ultimately be getting acquired by an American company, and then relocating.

Form processing is vastly more useful than meme generation. When people need to do real work this is the sort of tool they are going to reach for.

I hope the EU blocks any acquisitions by American companies. The west needs to start protecting its strategic assets.

Maybe, i think it will be to our benefit when the bubble pops that we are not heavily invested, no harm investing a little.

Yep. I saw the title and got excited.... this is a particular problem area where I think these things can be very effective. There are so many data entry class tasks which don't require huge knowledge or judgement... just clear parsing and putting that into a more machine digestible form.
I don't know... feels like this sort of area, while not nearly so sexy as video production or coding or (etc.)... but seems like reaching a better-than-human performance level should be easier for these kinds of workloads.

#10Is open router still sending all OCR jobs to Mistral? I wonder if they're trying to keep that spot. Seems like Mistral and Google are the best at OCR right now, with Google leading Mistral by a fair bit.
