I’d imagine their capabilities mirror that of Mistral OCR [1]. Mistral outputs markdown, the image would have to be convertible to a reasonably useful markdown structure (charts, tables etc).

This highlights the biggest issue I've found with Mistral OCR. Many of the documents I upload are entirely classified as images, which means no OCR is being run.

Pretty much anything with a different colored background gets returned as (image)[image_001].

LLMs tend to be a hammer in search of a nail when it comes to documents that have imagery. We decided on CV models which results in a high 90s midpoint for the docs our customers care about. If you can afford to go with a cv pipeline, it can outperform all of the LLMs by some margin.
