A multimodal RAG builder wants OCR that can use document context, not just images
MediocreAd3005 · reddit · 2026-07-22
The author is building a multimodal RAG pipeline where Mistral OCR annotates images before they are stored in a vector database alongside document text.
The issue is that the OCR step treats images in isolation, so the generated annotations miss surrounding document context. The author asks for:
- prompting guides for machine-to-machine image description models that can inject context;
- alternative models or workflows that natively use surrounding document context.
This is essentially a practical workflow question about how to make OCR and multimodal RAG more context-aware.
