## Overview

Mistral AI provides high-performance open and commercial models including Mistral Large and Codestral. Known for strong performance and European values.

**Model Class:** `MistralModel`

## Authentication

```bash theme={null}
export MISTRAL_API_KEY="..."
```

## Examples

```python theme={null}
from upsonic import Agent, Task
from upsonic.models.mistral import MistralModel

model = MistralModel(model_name="mistral-large-latest")
agent = Agent(model=model)

task = Task("Hello, how are you?")
result = agent.do(task)
print(result)
```

## Model Settings

You can set model parameters in two ways: on the model or on the Agent.

**On the model:**

```python theme={null}
from upsonic import Agent, Task
from upsonic.models.mistral import MistralModel, MistralModelSettings

model = MistralModel(
    model_name="mistral-large-latest",
    settings=MistralModelSettings(max_tokens=1024, temperature=0.7)
)
agent = Agent(model=model)
```

**On the Agent:**

```python theme={null}
from upsonic import Agent, Task
from upsonic.models.mistral import MistralModelSettings

agent = Agent(

)
```
