How Mistral AI performed
Open a capability to explore its scenarios. Each row reports the test set in its published Result; counts are not combined into an overall score.
Equations & Mathematical Notation1 scenario · 1 with published Results
Capability in this benchmark →
| Scenario | Published outcomes | Test coverage | Result |
|---|---|---|---|
| A document containing mathematical equations | 1 Pass0 Fail0 Not gradable 1 of 1 test case passedWhat happenedMistral AI kept the mathematical equations as LaTeX math in the Markdown for this PDF. The returned Markdown preserved all six display equations as math blocks with tags, kept inline symbols inside math delimiters, and carried through the page-break text and running heads. The page-by-page comparison sheets matched the source pages shown there. | 1/1 assessed1/1 gradablePublished test set | View Result → |
Figures & Charts2 scenarios · 1 with published Results

| Scenario | Published outcomes | Test coverage | Result |
|---|---|---|---|
| A document with figures and captions | 1 Pass0 Fail0 Not gradable 1 of 1 test case passedWhat happenedMistral AI preserved the figure at its source-page position and kept the caption directly below it. The Markdown places `` between the two surrounding paragraphs, with the Figure 1 caption immediately beneath it. | 1/1 assessed1/1 gradablePublished test set | View Result → |

Heading & Section Structure2 scenarios · 1 with published Results
Capability in this benchmark →
| Scenario | Published outcomes | Test coverage | Result |
|---|---|---|---|
| Footnotes at the bottom of the page | 1 Pass0 Fail0 Not gradable 1 of 1 test case passedWhat happenedMistral AI keeps footnotes out of the body flow and links each marker to its note. The Markdown output places 13 footnotes after the page bodies in source order, and the 26 marker occurrences each appear once inline and once at their notes, so the association is preserved. | 1/1 assessed1/1 gradablePublished test set | View Result → |
| A document with styled headings and subheadings | No published result | ||
Reading Order & Layout1 scenario · 1 with published Results

| Scenario | Published outcomes | Test coverage | Result |
|---|---|---|---|
| A page laid out in multiple columns | 1 Pass0 Fail0 Not gradable 1 of 1 test case passedWhat happenedMistral AI read the two-column page down each column in turn rather than across the page. On the three pages, the left and right columns stayed in order without interleaving. | 1/1 assessed1/1 gradablePublished test set | View Result → |
Scanned Document OCR2 scenarios · 2 with published Results
Capability in this benchmark →
| Scenario | Published outcomes | Test coverage | Result |
|---|---|---|---|
| A cleanly scanned document | 1 Pass0 Fail0 Not gradable 1 of 1 test case passedWhat happenedMistral AI passed the clean-scan OCR check. The image-only PDF had no text layer, and the returned Markdown reproduced the page’s text, numbers, dates, and closing lines. The signature was left as an image reference. One table header is shifted into the header row, but no content is lost. | 1/1 assessed1/1 gradablePublished test set | View Result → |
| A document mixing digital and scanned pages | 1 Pass0 Fail0 Not gradable 1 of 1 test case passedWhat happenedMistral AI processed the mixed PDF and included the scanned page in the Markdown output instead of skipping it. The scanned page appears in document order as tables and prose: the worksheet header, checks and readings, calibration note, time on site, and received by details are all present. The signature stays as an image reference. | 1/1 assessed1/1 gradablePublished test set | View Result → |
Table Extraction2 scenarios · 2 with published Results
Capability in this benchmark →
| Scenario | Published outcomes | Test coverage | Result |
|---|---|---|---|
| A simple, clearly formatted table | 1 Pass0 Fail0 Not gradable 1 of 1 test case passedWhat happenedMistral AI preserved a simple, clearly formatted table: the returned Markdown kept the four headers in order, retained eight data rows, and matched all 32 data cells against the source. The table stayed a single pipe table, and the comma inside "Metals suite, eleven elements" did not split the cell. | 1/1 assessed1/1 gradablePublished test set | View Result → |
| A table that continues across a page break | Different test setPublished Result available, but not included in this comparison. | View Result → | |

| An ordinary digital text document | 0 Pass1 Fail0 Not gradable 1 of 1 test case failedWhat happenedMistral AI did not keep an ordinary digital text document complete and unchanged. In the graded output for briefing_note.pdf, running headers and page numbers were spliced into body text at the cited line ranges, including 33-38, 56-64, 110-118, and 138-146. | 1/1 assessed1/1 gradablePublished test set | View Result → |

Reading these Results
Published evidence and test coverage answer different questions.
Which scenarios have a Result?
A published Result is public evidence for this tool on one scenario. “No published result” does not say whether testing has taken place.
What does each Result cover?
Assessed includes Pass, Fail and Not gradable. Gradable includes Pass and Fail. Both use the pinned test count in that published Result.
Inventory is not testing progress
The 12 scenarios describe this benchmark’s scope. They are not an assumed applicability or test-coverage denominator for Mistral AI.
