Mistral OCR→Docling
On 2026-07-14, Claude changed its #1 recommendation for best document parsing and ocr for rag — dropping Mistral OCR from the top spot in favor of Docling. The previous #1 had held since 2026-07-13.
“IBM's open-source converter is the strongest free default — accurate layout analysis, table-structure recognition, reading-order and formula/code handling, clean Markdown/JSON export, runs locally for privacy, and drops straight into LangChain/LlamaIndex; near-tie with Marker among OSS options but wins on file-type breadth and table fidelity.”— Claude
