French AI startup Mistral AI is introducing its Agents API, a “plug and play” platform that enables third-party software developers to quickly add autonomous generative AI capabilities to their existing applications. The API uses Mistral’s proprietary Medium 3 model as the “brains” of each agent, allowing for easy customization and integration of AI agents into enterprise and developer workflows. The API complements Mistral’s existing Chat Completion API and focuses on agentic orchestration, built-in connectors, persistent memory, and the ability to coordinate multiple AI agents to tackle complex tasks. This innovative approach aims to overcome the limitations of traditional language models. The Agents API comes equipped with several built-in connectors, including: Code Execution: Securely runs Python code, enabling applications in data visualization, scientific computing and other technical tasks. Image Generation: Leverages Black Forest Lab FLUX1.1 [pro] Ultra to create custom visuals for marketing, education or artistic uses. Document Library: Accesses documents stored in Mistral Cloud, enhancing retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) features. Web Search: Allows agents to retrieve up-to-date information from online sources, news outlets and other reputable platforms.
