You can proxy requests to Mistral AI models through AI Gateway by creating AI Model Provider and AI Model entities. This reference documents all supported AI capabilities, configuration requirements, and provider-specific details needed for proper integration.

Upstream paths

AI Gateway automatically routes requests to the appropriate Mistral API endpoints. The following table shows the upstream paths used for each capability.

Capability

Path template

Description

Upstream path or API

Generate /chat/completions, /completions, or /responses Text generation for chat completions and responses /v1/chat/completions or user-defined
Embeddings /embeddings Vector embeddings from text input /v1/embeddings or user-defined

Supported capabilities

The following tables show the AI capabilities supported by the Mistral provider when configuring AI Models.

By default, AI Gateway uses the path templates shown in the tables below (e.g., /chat/completions, /embeddings, etc.). To customize these paths, configure the config.paths field in your AI Model entity. Custom paths take the form {configured_path}/{template_path} — for example, if you set a custom path of /v2, requests to /embeddings would be routed to /v2/embeddings.

Mistral base URL

The base URL is $UPSTREAM_URL.

AI Gateway uses this URL automatically. You only need to configure a URL if you’re using a self-hosted or Mistral-compatible endpoint, in which case set the upstream_url option in your AI Model configuration.

Configure Mistral

To use Mistral with AI Gateway, configure a new AI Model Provider. You can then access supported AI Models from Mistral.

Here’s a minimal configuration for chat completions:

Configure a model target for Mistral

A target is an entry in the targets array on the AI Model entity, not the AI Model Provider. Beyond the common target options (name, provider, weight), a target routing to Mistral requires:

  • format: The request format your endpoint expects. One of ollama or openai.
targets:
  - name: mistral-large-latest
    provider: my-mistral-account
    config:
      type: mistral
      format: openai
