Strengths

  • Native paragraph-level bounding box extraction — layout position without a second pass
  • Block-level confidence scores, so only low-confidence blocks need human review
  • Structural block labels for downstream document parsing
  • Batch API halves the price

Weaknesses

  • Double the price of OCR 3 for the same core job ($4 vs $2 per 1,000 pages; $5 vs $3 annotated)
  • Proprietary — no weights and no self-hosting, unlike most of Mistral's 2026 lineup
  • Mistral publishes no context window, page limit, or file-size limit for it
