Mistral OCR 2 (Mistral)
Yes — Mistral OCR 2 is retired. Mistral deprecated it on February 27, 2026 and shut it down on May 31, 2026; API requests to it now fail. The recommended replacement is Mistral OCR 4.
The second OCR release, adding better table and equation handling to the model that had made Mistral's document API worth using. It ran a year before the February 2026 wave took it. Both OCR ids that came before OCR 4 are now dead, which makes this the fastest-rotating family Mistral runs.

What to use instead
OCR 4 returns structural block labels and paragraph-level bounding boxes that OCR 2 did not emit, so downstream code that indexed into the response by position rather than by key needs revisiting.
