The Block-Level Confidence Scores in Mistral OCR 4.1 — The Value That Decides Where People Go in a Document Pipeline
Mistral released OCR 4.1 with paragraph-level bounding boxes, structural block labels, and block-level confidence scores. For anyone who has built a document pipeline, the third one is what matters, because confidence sc
