A comment on Mistral OCR.

1. There’s no simple page / sandbox to upload images and try it. Fine, I’ll code it up.

2. “Explore the Mistral AI APIs” (https://docs.mistral.ai) links to all apis except OCR.

3. The docs on the api params refer to document chunking and image chunking but no details on how their chunking works?

So much unnecessary friction smh.

There is an OCR page on the link you provided. It includes a very, very simple curl command (like most of their docs).

I think the friction here exists outside of Mistral's control.

I don’t see it either. There might be some caching issue.

How is it out of their control to document what they mean by chunking in their parameters?
