Introducing Mistral OCR 4
Summary
Mistral AI launches OCR 4, a self-hosted, multilingual document understanding model that outputs text with bounding boxes, block types, and confidence scores. It integrates with the Mistral Search Toolkit and offers a no-code path via Studio, with pricing of $4 per 1,000 pages (or $2 with Batch API) and $5 per 1,000 pages for Document AI. The post includes benchmarks, recommended use cases, and guidance on when to use the raw OCR vs Document AI outputs.
