# Mistral

Mistral is a platform for providing endpoints for Large Language models.

## Authentication

Set your `MISTRAL_API_KEY` environment variable. Get your key from [here](https://console.mistral.ai/api-keys/).

<CodeGroup>
  ```bash Mac theme={null}
  export MISTRAL_API_KEY=***
  ```

  ```bash Windows theme={null}
  setx MISTRAL_API_KEY ***
  ```
</CodeGroup>

## Example

Use `Mistral` with your `Agent`:

<CodeGroup>
  ```python agent.py theme={null}
  import os

  from phi.agent import Agent, RunResponse
  from phi.model.mistral import MistralChat

  mistral_api_key = os.getenv("MISTRAL_API_KEY")

  agent = Agent(
      model=MistralChat(
          id="mistral-large-latest",
          api_key=mistral_api_key,
      ),
      markdown=True
  )

  # Get the response in a variable
  # run: RunResponse = agent.run("Share a 2 sentence horror story.")
  # print(run.content)

  # Print the response in the terminal
  agent.print_response("Share a 2 sentence horror story.")

  ```
</CodeGroup>
