Platform Overview
Mistral AI has four interfaces, each designed for a different role. This page compares their features so you can pick the right tool for your workflow.
- Le Chat: AI workspace for chat, search, document analysis, and agents (no code required)
- Studio: developer console for API keys, model testing, fine-tuning, and evaluation
- Mistral Vibe: open-source, terminal-native coding agent powered by Devstral
- Admin: control plane for organization setup, billing, SSO, and team management
Le Chat
The AI workspace for business users. Use Web Search, document analysis, Canvas editing, and custom agents from a chat interface. No code required.
Open Le Chat ↗Chat
Conversational AI interface
The core conversational interface powered by Mistral's latest models. Features multi-turn context retention, multilingual support, and a responsive multi-modal experience for everyday productivity tasks.
Deep Research
Autonomous web research & reporting
Le Chat autonomously plans a research strategy, navigates the web to synthesize multiple trusted sources, and generates long-form analytical reports.
Document Intelligence
Upload & analyze files with OCR
Upload PDFs, spreadsheets, and Word documents directly into chat. Le Chat applies OCR 3 natively to extract text from scanned images and complex document layouts.
Code Interpreter
Run Python natively in chat
A secure Python sandbox directly within Le Chat. Upload datasets to explore data, generate charts, and automate data transformations without leaving your browser.
Canvas
Real-time collaborative editing
An integrated writing and coding surface. Le Chat generates text, code, or presentations, allowing you to collaboratively refine and edit the AI's output in real time.
Memories & Libraries
Cross-conversation context storage
Enable Memories to let Le Chat retain your preferences across sessions. Build Libraries from uploaded documents to ground the model's responses in your own secure knowledge base.
Custom Agents
Customizable AI assistants
Create AI assistants for specific workflows. Define custom system instructions, attach tools (like MCP connectors), link knowledge bases, and share them securely with your team.
Studio
Your AI tooling platform. Build and deploy Agents, process documents and audio, test prompts in the Playground, manage API keys, and monitor usage. Everything you need to build, ship, and operate AI applications on the Mistral API.
Open Studio ↗Playground
Interactive prompt & parameter testing
A visual lab to experiment with system prompts, user messages, and generation parameters (like Temperature and Top-P). Test prompts side-by-side across different Mistral models instantly.
API Keys
Workspace-scoped access tokens
Generate and securely manage programmatic access tokens. API keys are scope-limited to specific workspaces, allowing precise control over which applications can access specific resources.
Fine-tuning
Custom model training via API
Train custom Mistral models on your own datasets via JSONL file uploads. Adapt base models to your domain terminology, tone, or specific formatting tasks.
Evaluation
Systematic benchmark testing
Run benchmark pipelines against your fine-tuned deployments or complex system prompts to objectively measure accuracy, performance, and detect regressions over time.
Agents API
Programmatic agent execution
Deploy custom agents into production. The Agents API allows developers to programmatically execute workflows where Mistral models autonomously orchestrate external tool calling.
Mistral Vibe
The open-source, terminal-native coding agent powered by Devstral. Scan your file structure and Git state, maintain multi-file context, and run shell commands directly from your terminal. Mistral Vibe integrates with JetBrains, Zed, and any other IDE that supports the Agent Communication Protocol, and can run fully offline with local models.
Try Mistral Vibe ↗Terminal Agent
Conversational coding in your terminal
A conversational interface to your codebase, right in the terminal. Reference files with @, run shell commands with !, and use slash-command skills to automate common workflows.
Agents & Skills
Custom agents with reusable skills
Build custom agents with system prompts and reusable slash-command skills. Automate repetitive workflows like code review, test generation, and documentation updates.
IDE Integration
JetBrains and Zed support
Integrate Mistral Vibe with JetBrains and Zed via the Agent Communication Protocol. Get AI assistance directly in your editor while keeping terminal access.
Local Mode
Fully offline with local models
Run Mistral Vibe offline with locally deployed models. Keep your code on your machine with no data leaving your environment, while retaining full agent capabilities.
Admin
The control plane for IT and security teams. Manage your organization's account, team structure, billing, SSO, and security policies.
Open Admin ↗User Management
Manage members, roles & seats
Centrally administer your organization. Invite team members, enforce secure Admin/Billing/Member roles, and allocate paid seats for premium products like Vibe Team and Mistral Code.
Single Sign-On (SSO)
SAML-based authentication
Mandate corporate security policies by connecting Mistral Platform to your existing identity provider via SAML SSO. Includes secure domain name verification to claim organizational domains.
Workspaces
Isolated team environments
Divide your organization into distinct, secure workspaces. Isolate API keys, fine-tuned models, and billing groups so that different departments operations never overlap.
Billing & Limits
Invoices & spending controls
Monitor token expenditure in real time. Download invoices, update payment methods, and establish strict hard spending caps per workspace to completely prevent unexpected cost overruns.
Audit Logs
Compliance & usage tracking
Maintain a strict, chronological record of organizational events. Track when users are invited, when API keys are generated, and view security events for internal compliance auditing.
Data Privacy Controls
GDPR & training opt-outs
Take full control of data sovereignty. Admins can globally opt out of data collection for model training, manage data retention policies, and execute strict GDPR deletion requests.
Admins have full control over organization settings, users, security, and billing. The Billing role is an optional, limited role for finance teams who only need access to subscriptions, invoices, and payment methods.
