About the Provider

Mistral AI is an artificial intelligence startup headquartered in Paris, France, founded in April 2023 by former Meta and DeepMind researchers. The company focuses on creating cutting-edge language models and AI tools that are both performant and accessible to developers and organizations. As of 2025, Mistral AI has rapidly grown in the open-source AI community and is known for releasing models under permissive licenses, including Apache 2.0.

​
Model Quickstart

This section helps you quickly get started with the mistralai/Mistral-7B-Instruct-v0.3 model on the Qubrid AI inferencing platform. To use this model, you need:
  • A valid Qubrid API key
  • Access to the Qubrid inference API
  • Basic knowledge of making API requests in your preferred language
Once authenticated with your API key, you can send inference requests to the mistralai/Mistral-7B-Instruct-v0.3 model and receive responses based on your input prompts. Below are example placeholders showing how the model can be accessed using different programming environments.
You can choose the one that best fits your workflow. 
from openai import OpenAI

# Initialize the OpenAI client with Qubrid base URL
client = OpenAI(
  base_url="https://platform.qubrid.com/v1",
  api_key="QUBRID_API_KEY",
)

# Create a streaming chat completion
stream = client.chat.completions.create(
  model="mistralai/Mistral-7B-Instruct-v0.3",
  messages=[
    {
      "role": "user",
      "content": "Explain quantum computing in simple terms"
    }
  ],
  max_tokens=4096,
  temperature=0.7,
  top_p=1,
  stream=True
)

# If stream = False comment this out
for chunk in stream:
  if chunk.choices and chunk.choices[0].delta.content:
      print(chunk.choices[0].delta.content, end="", flush=True)
print("\n")

# If stream = True comment this out
print(stream.choices[0].message.content)
