- It is available via API through Mistral Studio, Amazon SageMaker, Microsoft Foundry, and soon Snowflake Parse Document, with self-hosting in a single container.
- The Batch API discount lowers the price to $2 per 1,000 pages, and Document AI is priced at $5 per 1,000 pages.
- It is integrated with Mistral Search Toolkit, now in public preview, as an ingestion component for RAG and enterprise search.

## Why it matters
