1. Mistral Introduces Agentic Search for Complex Document Retrieval

Mistral. Mistral AI introduced Agentic Search, a retrieval layer that lets AI systems navigate, read, and verify information inside complex documents rather than relying on single-pass lookups. The system exposes five tools, search, open, navigate, read, and grep, that allow iterative exploration of data sources, and Mistral reports the approach triples accuracy on financial documents while cutting latency by up to 40 percent compared to traditional search methods.
