Mistral Small speaks through the same OpenAI-compatible endpoint as every other model. Point your existing client at Final Router, set the model id, and you also get automatic fallback, spend caps and usage tracking - none of which the provider gives you directly.
from openai import OpenAI
client = OpenAI(
api_key="fr_live_...", # your Final Router key
base_url="https://finalrouter.com/api/v1" # the only line you change
)
resp = client.chat.completions.create(
model="mistral/mistral-small-latest",
messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Hello!"}],
)
print(resp.choices[0].message.content)Data & residency
Mistral is a Paris company directly subject to the GDPR, and La Plateforme processes in the EU by default with no configuration. Their own documentation notes temporary transfers for some features and subprocessors, so this is EU by default rather than EU without exception.
Training: not used to train the model. Retention: Not used for training on the paid API; opt-in schemes exist separately.
