Set up Mistral
Researched from Mistral's official documentation on 2026-11-02. Not yet walked through end to end.
Open your Mistral console (sign-in required)
- Current: Choose an organization and workspace
Create a Mistral account or sign in to Studio and select the intended organization and workspace.
- Not started: Create an API key
Open API Keys in Studio, choose Create new key, and set its name, expiration and access scope.
- Not started: Check your plan and limits
Store the key on your own machine. Check your plan and usage limits before choosing a paid model.
- Not started: Configure your .env
Use the environment names below in your own application. Keep its environment file out of source control. Never paste a key into this website.
- Not started: Run the local check
Choose a model you can use and run the matching example below on your own machine. Check any applicable usage charges first.
Configure and verify locally
Environment names and defaults below come from the installed package. Choose a model you can use by setting PRISM_SETUP_MODEL on your machine. Run the verification only when you are ready for one billed request. No request is sent by this page.
Approximate text cost is input tokens × your model’s input rate, plus at most 32 output tokens × its output rate, divided by the rate’s token unit. Add any provider fees. Check your model and region’s current price; the token limit is not a money cap.
