Mistral launches OCR 4, turning document extraction into a full enterprise AI play

Mistral AI on Tuesday released OCR 4 , a document intelligence model that moves beyond raw text extraction to return structured representations of entire documents — complete with bounding boxes, block-type classification, and per-word confidence scores. The release marks Mistral's fourth generation of optical character recognition technology in roughly 15 months and lands at a moment when the company's pitch for European AI sovereignty has never been more commercially relevant.
