Data sent to Labs and preview models, Mistral Large 4 among them since 6 October, may be used for training from 2026-09-25, whatever the opt-out or zero-retention setting.\n\n**Nemotron 3.5 Super VL.** NVIDIA's free endpoint takes OpenAI-format requests with typed tool calls, JSON Schema output and an OpenAPI 3.1 file, and the weights run anywhere under a permissive licence. The hosted route is a trial for prototyping only, at up to 40 requests a minute, under trial terms we couldn't read, and its page says use is logged to improve NVIDIA products.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Mistral AI API\n\n1. Stay off `labs-*` and preview models, `mistral-large-4` included while it is in preview, 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. Move `zai-glm-5-2` calls to `zai-glm-5-3` before 31 October 2026. The price is the same\n5. Set `tool_choice` to any to force a tool call, and `strict` on the JSON schema for structured output\n\n### Nemotron 3.5 Super VL\n\n1. Set `chat_template_kwargs` to `{\"enable_thinking\": false}` for short tasks. Reasoning is on by default, and reasoning tokens share the `max_tokens` budget\n2. Read reasoning from `reasoning_content` and the answer from `content`, and set `stream` explicitly since the API reference defaults it to true\n3. Don't send confidential or personal data to the hosted trial. The model page asks callers not to and says use is logged\n4. Back off and retry on throttling. Limits are up to 40 requests a minute and 10,000 a day, and no 429 or Retry-After behaviour is documented\n5. For production, use a partner endpoint or serve the weights. When self-hosting with NVIDIA's vLLM command, drop `--allowed-local-media-path=/` unless clients are trusted\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Mistral AI API or Nemotron 3.5 Super VL?\n\nMistral AI API scores 71.2 (BB) on agent readiness against Nemotron 3.5 Super VL's 58.9 (C), and leads in 6 of 7 scored categories. Nemotron 3.5 Super VL leads on reliability.\n\n### Do Mistral AI API and Nemotron 3.5 Super VL need an API key?\n\nBoth need an API key.\n\n### Can an agent call Mistral AI API and Nemotron 3.5 Super VL without installing anything?\n\nYes. Mistral AI API has a hosted endpoint at https://api.mistral.ai/v1 and Nemotron 3.5 Super VL at https://integrate.api.nvidia.com/v1.\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/mistral-api-vs-nemotron-3-5-super-vl.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/mistral-api-vs-nemotron-3-5-super-vl.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"mistral-api\", \"b\": \"nemotron-3-5-super-vl\"}`.
