The chinese did it better, mistral is alive thanks to regulations.
I've been a bit more careful about complaining about regulations broadly due to competitive advantage, e.g. ITAR

#12I won't comment on accuracy, but in internal benchmarks, Mistral OCR is significantly faster than comparable APIs.

#13How does this compare to Baidu Unlimited OCR. I've been very impressed with Baidu and it's essentially free to run on a decent computer, other than electricity costs.

Where do your documents go?

#17I've got a scan from a book that I OCR with new releases. Ligatures, critical sigla, Fraktur letterforms, subscripts, superscripts, etc. Nothing special about this model for overly-detailed work like mine. It's been a while since I last tested (and discontinued my subscription), but the "pro" models from OpenAI dominate. Not surprising, given the price difference, but it would be nice if an OCR-specific model could p…
Yet: how is pricing? Evaluating contents and routing appropriately isn't a new challenge in OCR, one of the oldest fields of applications in ML. Thus, how do the smaller open models perform in tandem with relatively pricy $/pg models & APIs? Your use case is remarkably rare relative to the volume and price sensitivity of enterprise data warehouse ops.

#18At this point I lost all hope for Europe playing any significant role in the AI race. If that’s a good or a bad thing I don’t know, but it seems to me like that’s the reality.
It's not a race. You don't get anything for winning.
Unless you manage to build a god, and keep it under control... okay, we're all going to lose

They go to the decent computer hosting the model, which can be yours if you pay the electricity costs

i.e. it's one AI company that's basically guaranteed to never fail since it has a market niche guaranteed by European companies and governments.
