Tools that accept your Mistral API key (69)

Where your key goes

Training on your input
No, not by default Mistral does not train on customer data by default, but the clause carries a carve-out worth reading: some Mistral products are set to opt-in by default, and on those, not opting out means training is permitted. The answer therefore depends on which product you use, not on Mistral as a whole.
Who operates the API
Mistral AI SAS, FR
US compelled disclosure
US infrastructure Neither the operator nor its parent is US-controlled, but the endpoint is served from infrastructure operated by a US-controlled provider.
Who else is in the request path
Cloudflare, Inc. Requests to this endpoint pass through Cloudflare (Cloudflare, Inc., US), which terminates TLS in front of the API. That means Cloudflare, Inc. decrypts the request and can see the Authorization header carrying your key. This is normal infrastructure practice, not a defect, but it is a party in the path that the provider's own documentation does not mention.
Browser apps
Can call this endpoint directly A browser-based app can call this endpoint directly. A CORS preflight from https://www.byoaik.com returned access-control-allow-origin: *.
