caution

You are currently on a page documenting the use of Mistral models as text completion models. Many popular models available on Mistral are chat completion models.

You may be looking for this page instead.

Mistral AI is a platform that offers hosting for their powerful open source models.

This will help you get started with MistralAI completion models (LLMs) using LangChain. For detailed documentation on MistralAI features and configuration options, please refer to the API reference.

Overview​

Integration details​

ClassPackageLocalSerializablePY supportPackage downloadsPackage latest
MistralAI@langchain/mistralai❌✅❌NPM - DownloadsNPM - Version

Setup​

To access MistralAI models you’ll need to create a MistralAI account, get an API key, and install the @langchain/mistralai integration package.

Credentials​

Head to console.mistral.ai to sign up to MistralAI and generate an API key. Once you’ve done this set the MISTRAL_API_KEY environment variable:

export MISTRAL_API_KEY="your-api-key"

If you want to get automated tracing of your model calls you can also set your LangSmith API key by uncommenting below:

# export LANGCHAIN_TRACING_V2="true"
# export LANGCHAIN_API_KEY="your-api-key"

Installation​

The LangChain MistralAI integration lives in the @langchain/mistralai package:

tip

See this section for general instructions on installing integration packages.

yarn add @langchain/mistralai @langchain/core

Instantiation​

Now we can instantiate our model object and generate chat completions:

import { MistralAI } from "@langchain/mistralai";

const llm = new MistralAI({
  model: "codestral-latest",
  temperature: 0,
  maxTokens: undefined,
  maxRetries: 2,
  // other params...
});

Invocation​

const inputText = "MistralAI is an AI company that ";

const completion = await llm.invoke(inputText);
completion;
 has developed Mistral 7B, a large language model (LLM) that is open-source and available for commercial use. Mistral 7B is a 7 billion parameter model that is trained on a diverse and high-quality dataset, and it has been fine-tuned to perform well on a variety of tasks, including text generation, question answering, and code interpretation.

MistralAI has made Mistral 7B available under a permissive license, allowing anyone to use the model for commercial purposes without having to pay any fees. This has made Mistral 7B a popular choice for businesses and organizations that want to leverage the power of large language models without incurring high costs.

Mistral 7B has been trained on a diverse and high-quality dataset, which has enabled it to perform well on a variety of tasks. It has been fine-tuned to generate coherent and contextually relevant text, and it has been shown to be capable of answering complex questions and interpreting code.

Mistral 7B is also a highly efficient model, capable of processing text at a fast pace. This makes it well-suited for applications that require real-time responses, such as chatbots and virtual assistants.

Overall, Mistral 7B is a powerful and versatile large language model that is open-source and available for commercial use. Its ability to perform well on a variety of tasks, its efficiency, and its permissive license make it a popular choice for businesses and organizations that want to leverage the power of large language models.

Chaining​

We can chain our completion model with a prompt template like so:

import { PromptTemplate } from "@langchain/core/prompts";

const prompt = PromptTemplate.fromTemplate(
  "How to say {input} in {output_language}:\n"
);

const chain = prompt.pipe(llm);
await chain.invoke({
  output_language: "German",
  input: "I love programming.",
});

I love programming.

Ich liebe Programmieren.

In German, the phrase "I love programming" is translated as "Ich liebe Programmieren." The word "programming" is translated to "Programmieren," and "I love" is translated to "Ich liebe."

Since the Mistral LLM is a completions model, they also allow you to insert a suffix to the prompt. Suffixes can be passed via the call options when invoking a model like so:

const suffixResponse = await llm.invoke(
  "You can print 'hello world' to the console in javascript like this:\n```javascript",
  {
    suffix: "```",
  }
);
console.log(suffixResponse);

console.log('hello world');
```

As seen in the first example, the model generated the requested console.log('hello world') code snippet, but also included extra unwanted text. By adding a suffix, we can constrain the model to only complete the prompt up to the suffix (in this case, three backticks). This allows us to easily parse the completion and extract only the desired response without the suffix using a custom output parser.

import { MistralAI } from "@langchain/mistralai";

const llmForFillInCompletion = new MistralAI({
  model: "codestral-latest",
  temperature: 0,
});

const suffix = "```";

const customOutputParser = (input: string) => {
  if (input.includes(suffix)) {
    return input.split(suffix)[0];
  }
  throw new Error("Input does not contain suffix.");
};

const resWithParser = await llmForFillInCompletion.invoke(
  "You can print 'hello world' to the console in javascript like this:\n```javascript",
  {
    suffix,
  }
);

console.log(customOutputParser(resWithParser));

console.log('hello world');
