One alias in front of Mistral AI.
Your application calls a Relays alias. Relays holds the Mistral AI credential, applies the route policy, and hands back the provider response in the shape your SDK expects.
- Your application
Keeps the OpenAI-compatible request it already sends.
- Relays
Holds the key, picks the candidate, writes the receipt.
- Mistral AI
Receives the call on its own base URL.
- OpenAI-compatible
- Chat Completions
- Bring your own Mistral API key
MISTRAL_API_KEY https://api.mistral.ai/v1- Maintained Relays preset
Relays’ Mistral preset is a Chat Completions connection. The gateway owns the credential boundary and public alias; Mistral remains responsible for validating model-specific request options.
What is measured, and what is not.
Availability comes from Mistral AI. Latency, error rate, and cost per successful request come from your own traffic, so Relays leaves them empty until requests run.
Relays measurements
Models at the edge.
Model IDs sit behind a Relays alias, so a catalogue change at Mistral AI never reaches your code.
Every route carries a policy.
A route is a list of candidates, a budget, and a record of what happened. You set all three before any traffic runs.
Candidates stay inside the contract.
Mistral can participate in an ordered Chat Completions route with other configured OpenAI-compatible candidates.
See how a route is chosenA ceiling on this route.
Set an alert threshold and a stop threshold for the route rather than for the whole application. Relays checks both before the call goes upstream.
Each attempt is written down.
Every call records the alias, the candidates tried, the status each returned, tokens in and out, and the estimated cost of the attempt that served it.

One endpoint is enough to start.
Keep the client you already wrote. Bring us the workload and we will map the first Mistral AI route with you.
