## haystack_integrations.components.converters.mistral.ocr_document_converter

### MistralOCRDocumentConverter

Extract text from documents using Mistral's OCR API with optional structured annotations.

Supports optional structured annotations for individual image regions (bounding boxes) and full documents.

Accepts document sources in various formats (str/Path for local files, ByteStream for in-memory data,
DocumentURLChunk for document URLs, ImageURLChunk for image URLs, or FileChunk for Mistral file IDs)
and retrieves the recognized text via Mistral's OCR service. Local files are automatically uploaded
to Mistral's storage.
Returns Haystack Documents (one per source) containing all pages concatenated with form feed characters (\\f),
ensuring compatibility with Haystack's DocumentSplitter for accurate page-wise splitting and overlap handling.

**How Annotations Work:**
When annotation schemas (`bbox_annotation_schema` or `document_annotation_schema`) are provided,
the OCR model first extracts text and structure from the document. Then, a Vision LLM is called
to analyze the content and generate structured annotations according to your defined schemas.
For more details, see: https://docs.mistral.ai/capabilities/document_ai/annotations/#how-it-works

**Usage Example:**

```python
from haystack.utils import Secret
from haystack_integrations.mistral import MistralOCRDocumentConverter
from mistralai.models import DocumentURLChunk, ImageURLChunk, FileChunk

converter = MistralOCRDocumentConverter(
    api_key=Secret.from_env_var("MISTRAL_API_KEY"),
    model="mistral-ocr-2505"
)

# Process multiple sources
sources = [
    DocumentURLChunk(document_url="https://example.com/document.pdf"),
    ImageURLChunk(image_url="https://example.com/receipt.jpg"),
    FileChunk(file_id="file-abc123"),
]
result = converter.run(sources=sources)

documents = result["documents"]  # List of 3 Documents
raw_responses = result["raw_mistral_response"]  # List of 3 raw responses
```

**Structured Output Example:**

```python
from pydantic import BaseModel, Field
from haystack_integrations.mistral import MistralOCRDocumentConverter

# Define schema for structured image annotations
class ImageAnnotation(BaseModel):
    image_type: str = Field(..., description="The type of image content")
    short_description: str = Field(..., description="Short natural-language description")
    summary: str = Field(..., description="Detailed summary of the image content")

# Define schema for structured document annotations
class DocumentAnnotation(BaseModel):
    language: str = Field(..., description="Primary language of the document")
    chapter_titles: List[str] = Field(..., description="Detected chapter or section titles")
    urls: List[str] = Field(..., description="URLs found in the text")

converter = MistralOCRDocumentConverter(
    model="mistral-ocr-2505",
)

sources = [DocumentURLChunk(document_url="https://example.com/report.pdf")]
result = converter.run(
    sources=sources,
    bbox_annotation_schema=ImageAnnotation,
    document_annotation_schema=DocumentAnnotation,
)

documents = result["documents"]
raw_responses = result["raw_mistral_response"]
```

## haystack_integrations.components.generators.mistral.chat.chat_generator

### MistralChatGenerator

Bases: <code>OpenAIChatGenerator</code>

Enables text generation using Mistral AI generative models.

For supported models, see [Mistral AI docs](https://docs.mistral.ai/getting-started/models).

Users can pass any text generation parameters valid for the Mistral Chat Completion API
directly to this component via the `generation_kwargs` parameter in `__init__` or the `generation_kwargs`
parameter in `run` method.

Key Features and Compatibility:

- **Primary Compatibility**: Compatible with the Mistral API Chat Completion endpoint.
- **Streaming Support**: Supports streaming responses from the Mistral API Chat Completion endpoint.
- **Customizability**: Supports all parameters supported by the Mistral API Chat Completion endpoint.
- **Reasoning Support**: Extracts reasoning/thinking content from models that support it
  (e.g., mistral-small with `reasoning_effort`, magistral models) and stores it in the
  `ReasoningContent` field on `ChatMessage`.

This component uses the ChatMessage format for structuring both input and output,
ensuring coherent and contextually relevant responses in chat-based text generation scenarios.
Details on the ChatMessage format can be found in the
[Haystack docs](https://docs.haystack.deepset.ai/docs/data-classes#chatmessage)

For more details on the parameters supported by the Mistral API, refer to the
[Mistral API Docs](https://docs.mistral.ai/api/).

Usage example:

```python
from haystack_integrations.components.generators.mistral import MistralChatGenerator
from haystack.dataclasses import ChatMessage

messages = [ChatMessage.from_user("What's Natural Language Processing?")]

client = MistralChatGenerator()
response = client.run(messages)
print(response)

>>{'replies': [ChatMessage(_role=<ChatRole.ASSISTANT: 'assistant'>, _content=[TextContent(text=
>> "Natural Language Processing (NLP) is a branch of artificial intelligence
>> that focuses on enabling computers to understand, interpret, and generate human language in a way that is
>> meaningful and useful.")], _name=None,
>> _meta={'model': 'mistral-small-latest', 'index': 0, 'finish_reason': 'stop',
>> 'usage': {'prompt_tokens': 15, 'completion_tokens': 36, 'total_tokens': 51}})]}
```

Reasoning usage example:

```python
from haystack_integrations.components.generators.mistral import MistralChatGenerator
from haystack.dataclasses import ChatMessage

messages = [ChatMessage.from_user("Solve: if x + 3 = 7, what is x?")]

client = MistralChatGenerator(
    model="mistral-small-latest",
    generation_kwargs={"reasoning_effort": "high"},
)
response = client.run(messages)
print(response["replies"][0].reasoning)  # Access reasoning content
print(response["replies"][0].text)       # Access final answer
```

see [Mistral AI docs](https://docs.mistral.ai/getting-started/models) for more information
and send a GET HTTP request to "https://api.mistral.ai/v1/models" for a full list of model IDs.

#### __init__

```python
__init__(
    api_key: Secret = Secret.from_env_var("MISTRAL_API_KEY"),
    model: str = "mistral-small-latest",
    streaming_callback: StreamingCallbackT | None = None,
    api_base_url: str | None = "https://api.mistral.ai/v1",
    generation_kwargs: dict[str, Any] | None = None,
    tools: ToolsType | None = None,
    *,
    timeout: float | None = None,
    max_retries: int | None = None,
    http_client_kwargs: dict[str, Any] | None = None
) -> None
```

Creates an instance of MistralChatGenerator.

Unless specified otherwise in the `model`, this is for Mistral's `mistral-small-latest` model.

**Parameters:**

- **api_key** (<code>Secret</code>) – The Mistral API key.
- **model** (<code>str</code>) – The name of the Mistral chat completion model to use.
- **streaming_callback** (<code>StreamingCallbackT | None</code>) – A callback function that is called when a new token is received from the stream.
  The callback function accepts StreamingChunk as an argument.
- **api_base_url** (<code>str | None</code>) – The Mistral API Base url.
  For more details, see Mistral [docs](https://docs.mistral.ai/api/).
- **generation_kwargs** (<code>dict\[str, Any\] | None</code>) – Other parameters to use for the model. These parameters are all sent directly to
  the Mistral endpoint. See [Mistral API docs](https://docs.mistral.ai/api/) for more details.
  Some of the supported parameters:
- `max_tokens`: The maximum number of tokens the output text can have.
- `temperature`: What sampling temperature to use. Higher values mean the model will take more risks.
  Try 0.9 for more creative applications and 0 (argmax sampling) for ones with a well-defined answer.
- `top_p`: An alternative to sampling with temperature, called nucleus sampling, where the model
  considers the results of the tokens with top_p probability mass. So 0.1 means only the tokens
  comprising the top 10% probability mass are considered.
- `stream`: Whether to stream back partial progress. If set, tokens will be sent as data-only server-sent
  events as they become available, with the stream terminated by a data: [DONE] message.
- `safe_prompt`: Whether to inject a safety prompt before all conversations.
- `random_seed`: The seed to use for random sampling.
- `reasoning_effort`: Controls reasoning/thinking tokens for models that support adjustable reasoning
  (e.g., `mistral-small-latest`, `mistral-medium`). Accepted values: `"high"`, `"none"`.
  See [Mistral reasoning docs](https://docs.mistral.ai/capabilities/reasoning/).
- `prompt_mode`: For native reasoning models (magistral). Set to `"reasoning"` to use the default
  reasoning system prompt, or omit for the model's default behavior.
- `response_format`: A JSON schema or a Pydantic model that enforces the structure of the model's response.
  If provided, the output will always be validated against this
  format (unless the model returns a tool call).
  For details, see the [OpenAI Structured Outputs documentation](https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/structured-outputs).
  Notes:
  - For structured outputs with streaming,
    the `response_format` must be a JSON schema and not a Pydantic model.
- **tools** (<code>ToolsType | None</code>) – A list of Tool and/or Toolset objects, or a single Toolset for which the model can prepare calls.
  Each tool should have a unique name.
- **timeout** (<code>float | None</code>) – The timeout for the Mistral API call. If not set, it defaults to either the `OPENAI_TIMEOUT`
  environment variable, or 30 seconds.
- **max_retries** (<code>int | None</code>) – Maximum number of retries to contact OpenAI after an internal error.
  If not set, it defaults to either the `OPENAI_MAX_RETRIES` environment variable, or set to 5.
- **http_client_kwargs** (<code>dict\[str, Any\] | None</code>) – A dictionary of keyword arguments to configure a custom `httpx.Client`or `httpx.AsyncClient`.
  For more information, see the [HTTPX documentation](https://www.python-httpx.org/api/#client).
