Mistral releases OCR 4 with bounding boxes, block classification, and 170-language support
Mistral announced Mistral OCR 4, a compact document‑parsing model that returns text plus bounding boxes, typed block classification, and per‑word/ per‑page confidence scores, supports 170 languages, and can run in a single container for self‑hosted deployments; the company says independent human evaluators preferred OCR 4 over competitors and it scored highest on OlmOCRBench. OCR 4 is available via API or Mistral's Document AI (pricing published) and integrates with the open‑source Mistral Search Toolkit for RAG and enterprise search ingestion.
