Log in to the [Mistral AI Console](https://console.mistral.ai/) 2. Navigate to the API Keys section 3. Click on "Create new key" or use an existing key 4. Copy the generated API key **Security Note:** Your API key should be kept secure and never shared publicly. PipesHub securely stores your API key and uses it only for authenticating requests to Mistral AI services. ### Model Name \* The Model Name field defines which Mistral AI model you want to use with PipesHub. **Popular Mistral AI models include:** * `mistral-large-latest` - Mistral's most capable general-purpose model, ideal for complex tasks * `mistral-medium-latest` - Balanced performance and cost for a wide range of use cases * `mistral-small-latest` - Efficient and cost-effective for routine tasks **How to choose a model:** * For complex reasoning and maximum capabilities, select `mistral-large-latest` * For balanced performance, select `mistral-medium-latest` * For efficient, cost-effective tasks, select `mistral-small-latest` * Check Mistral's [model documentation](https://docs.mistral.ai/getting-started/models/) for the most up-to-date options ## Optional Fields ### Context Length Specify the maximum context window for your model. For example, 128000 tokens (128K) for most Mistral models. **Context length examples:** * Mistral Large 3: 128000 tokens (128K) * Mistral Medium 3.1: 128000 tokens (128K) * Mistral Small 3.2: 128000 tokens (128K) ### Multimodal Support Mistral models support multimodal capabilities, enabling both text and image processing. Enable this option if you want to use image understanding features in your application. ### Reasoning Enable this option if your selected model supports advanced reasoning capabilities. This allows for more complex problem-solving and logical inference. ## Configuration Steps As shown in the image above: 1. Click **Configure** on the Mistral provider card 2. Enter your Mistral AI API Key in the designated field (marked with \*) 3. Specify your desired Model Name (marked with \*) 4. (Optional) Configure the Context Length for your use case 5. (Optional) Enable Multimodal support if needed 6. (Optional) Enable Reasoning capabilities if supported by your model 7. Click **Add Model** to save and validate your credentials > Both the API Key and Model Name are required fields to successfully configure Mistral AI integration. ## Usage Considerations * API usage will count against your Mistral AI API quota and billing * Different models have different pricing - check Mistral AI's pricing page for details * Model capabilities vary - more powerful models may provide better results but at higher cost * Mistral AI provides: * Advanced reasoning capabilities with Mixture-of-Experts architecture * Multimodal understanding (text and images) * Support for long contexts (up to 128K tokens) * Open-weight models for transparency and flexibility * State-of-the-art performance across various tasks ## Troubleshooting * If you encounter authentication errors, verify your API key is correct and has not expired * Ensure your Mistral AI account has billing set up if you're using paid service tiers * Check that the model name is spelled correctly and available * Verify that your API key has access to the specific model you've selected * If you're experiencing rate limits, check your API usage in the Mistral AI Console dashboard * For multimodal features, ensure your model supports image inputs For additional support, refer to the [Mistral AI documentation](https://docs.mistral.ai/) or contact PipesHub support.
