Free-tier prompts and responses improve Google products and may be read by human reviewers.\n\n**Mistral AI API.** Public OpenAPI document at docs.mistral.ai/openapi.yaml and an llms.txt with Markdown twins. Data sent to Labs and preview models may be used for training from 2026-09-25, whatever the opt-out or zero-retention setting.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Gemini Developer API\n\n1. Never send customer data through a free-tier key. Link billing first\n2. Budget 3.8 Flash at $1.50/$7.50 from 2027-01-01, not the introductory price\n3. Back off exponentially on 429 RESOURCE_EXHAUSTED and 503, and don't retry 400, 402 or 403\n4. Stop sending temperature, top_p and top_k. They've been deprecated since 2026-07-21\n5. Validate structured output yourself. The docs don't promise schema-constrained decoding\n\n### Mistral AI API\n\n1. Stay off `labs-*` and preview models for anything confidential\n2. Use the EU endpoint when data has to stay in Europe and budget the 10% uplift\n3. Treat a 404 on a model id as retirement and read the lifecycle page for the replacement\n4. Set `tool_choice` to any to force a tool call, and `strict` on the JSON schema for structured output\n5. Read docs.mistral.ai/openapi.yaml for the request shapes instead of guessing from OpenAI's\n\n## Other comparisons with Gemini Developer API or Mistral AI API\n\n- [Claude API vs Gemini Developer API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/anthropic-api-vs-gemini-api.md)\n- [Claude API vs Mistral AI API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/anthropic-api-vs-mistral-api.md)\n- [BlockRun.AI vs Gemini Developer API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/blockrun-ai-vs-gemini-api.md)\n- [BlockRun.AI vs Mistral AI API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/blockrun-ai-vs-mistral-api.md)\n- [DeepSeek API vs Gemini Developer API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/deepseek-api-vs-gemini-api.md)\n- [DeepSeek API vs Mistral AI API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/deepseek-api-vs-mistral-api.md)\n- [Gemini Developer API vs GroqCloud](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/gemini-api-vs-groq.md)\n- [Gemini Developer API vs OpenAI API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/gemini-api-vs-openai-api.md)\n- [Gemini Developer API vs OpenRouter](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/gemini-api-vs-openrouter.md)\n- [GroqCloud vs Mistral AI API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/groq-vs-mistral-api.md)\n- [Mistral AI API vs OpenAI API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/mistral-api-vs-openai-api.md)\n- [Mistral AI API vs OpenRouter](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/mistral-api-vs-openrouter.md)\n",
