# Mistral AI

[Updated in 2026.22](https://docs-classic.cognigy.com/release-notes/2026.22.md)

To start using a Mistral AI model with Cognigy features, follow these steps:

1. [Add a Model](#add-models)
2. [Apply the Model](#apply-the-model)

## Add Models

You can add a model using one of the following interfaces:

* [GUI](#add-models-via-gui)
* [API](#add-models-via-the-api)

### Add Models via GUI

You can add a model provided by Mistral AI to Cognigy in **Build > LLM**. To add the model, you will need the following parameters:

> [tab] Standard Model
>
> > [!NOTE]
> >
> > The `*-latest` suffix indicates that the model you select points to the latest version of the model. For more information, read the [Mistral AI's models](https://docs.mistral.ai/getting-started/models/compare) documentation.
>
> | Parameter | Description |
> | - | - |
> | API Key | Add the API Key that you [generated](https://docs.mistral.ai/getting-started/quickstart/) under **API > API Keys** in your [Mistral AI](https://mistral.ai/) account. |
> | Custom URL | This optional parameter allows you to specify a custom URL for the [Mistral AI chat completions endpoint](https://docs.mistral.ai/studio/conversations/chat-completion). Use this URL to route requests through a dedicated proxy server for enhanced security. Enter the full URL of the chat completions endpoint, for example, `https://proxy.example.com/v1/chat/completions`. Cognigy sends requests to the URL you specify. |

> [tab] Custom Model
>
> | Parameter | Description |
> | - | - |
> | Model Type | Select **Chat**. |
> | Model Name | Enter the name of the model that you want to use as a custom model. To find model names, refer to the [Mistral AI models](https://docs.mistral.ai/getting-started/models/compare) documentation. |
> | API Key | Add the API Key that you [generated](https://docs.mistral.ai/getting-started/quickstart/) under **API > API Keys** in your [Mistral AI](https://mistral.ai/) account. |
> | Custom URL | This optional parameter allows you to specify a custom URL for the [Mistral AI chat completions endpoint](https://docs.mistral.ai/studio/conversations/chat-completion). Use this URL to route requests through a dedicated proxy server for enhanced security. Enter the full URL of the chat completions endpoint, for example, `https://proxy.example.com/v1/chat/completions`. Cognigy sends requests to the URL you specify. |

Apply changes. Check if the connection was set up by clicking **Test**. You can switch generative models at any time using the **Model** list without setting up a new connection. For embedding models, the selection is locked because different embedding models can generate incompatible embeddings for [Knowledge AI](https://docs-classic.cognigy.com/ai/agents/develop/knowledge-ai/overview#embedding-model). To switch an embedding, delete the connection and create a new one.

### Add Models via the API

You can add either a standard or custom model using the [Cognigy API POST /v2.0/largelanguagemodels](https://api-trial.cognigy.ai/openapi#post-/v2.0/largelanguagemodels) request.
Then, test your connection for the created model via the [Cognigy API POST /v2.0/largelanguagemodels//test](https://api-trial.cognigy.ai/openapi#post-/v2.0/largelanguagemodels/-largeLanguageModelId-/test).

## Apply the Model

To apply a model, follow these steps:

1. In the left-side menu of the Project, go to **Manage > Settings**.
2. Go to the section based on your use case for using a model:
   * **Generative AI Settings**. In the **Generative AI Settings** section, activate **Enable Generative AI Features**. This setting is toggled on by default if you have previously set up the Generative AI credentials.
   * **Knowledge AI Settings**. Use this section if you need to add a model for Knowledge AI. Select a model for the **Knowledge Search** and **Answer Extraction** features. Refer to the [list of standard models](https://docs-classic.cognigy.com/ai/agents/develop/gen-ai-and-llms/model-support-by-feature.md) and find the models that support these features.
3. Navigate to the desired feature and select a model from the list. If there are no models available for the selected feature, the system will automatically select **None**. Save changes.
