Jan automatically includes Mistral’s available models. In case you want to use a specific Mistral model that you cannot find in Jan, follow the instructions in Add Cloud Models:

  • See list of available models in Mistral AI Documentation.
  • The id property must match the model name in the list. For example, if you want to use Mistral Large, you must set the id property to mistral-large-latest

Common issues and solutions:

1. API Key Issues

2. Connection Problems
