Sparrow Standard Mode: Document Extraction with Ministral 14B

A look at Sparrow's Standard tier, powered by Ministral 3 14B via MLX-VLM.

In this video I run a document through Sparrow's UI (sparrow.katanaml.io/process) using the Standard model — Ministral 14B. It extracts structured line-item data into clean, valid JSON in about 22 seconds, no schema drift, no formatting issues.

Ministral 14B is the default model behind Sparrow's Standard tier — built for fast, everyday document extraction with strong accuracy, running fully local with no cloud dependencies.

Mistral OCR 4 + Sparrow: Document to JSON

Follow-up to the Mistral OCR + Sparrow integration video. Mistral released OCR 4 — the latest model with improved accuracy, native bounding box extraction, and structural block labels. One model string change in Sparrow to pick it up.

In this video, extracting a long financial statement table into structured JSON using Mistral OCR 4 + Mistral Small 4.

Sparrow is open source and local-first by design — documents never leave your infrastructure unless you choose the cloud backend.
