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**Beam 1.0.** The Reflection API is OpenAI-compatible, with an OpenAPI document, strict structured outputs and tool calls, and error codes that say when to retry, and the weights are Apache-2.0. It is a free public beta with unpublished daily limits and no per-token price, reasoning can't be turned off, and three API incidents were posted between 14 and 16 October 2026.\n\n## Before you call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### Beam 1.0\n\n1. Send `reasoning_effort` `low` or `medium` for short tasks. The default is `max`, and `none` or `minimal` return `400 unsupported_value`\n2. Return every assistant message with its `reasoning_content` unchanged. If a turn comes back without it, start a new conversation, since later requests fail with `missing_required_parameter`\n3. Don't rely on `stop` or `seed`. Both are accepted and ignored, so truncate output in your own code\n4. Honour `x-should-retry: false` on a 429. It means a daily limit is spent and `Retry-After` counts to 00:00 UTC\n5. Set `max_completion_tokens` yourself on long prompts. The default budget isn't reduced to fit the prompt and includes reasoning tokens\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Mistral AI API or Beam 1.0?\n\nMistral AI API scores 71.2 (BB) on agent readiness against Beam 1.0's 53.4 (D), and leads in every scored category.\n\n### Do Mistral AI API and Beam 1.0 need an API key?\n\nBoth need an API key.\n\n### Can an agent call Mistral AI API and Beam 1.0 without installing anything?\n\nYes. Mistral AI API has a hosted endpoint at https://api.mistral.ai/v1 and Beam 1.0 at https://api.reflection.ai/openai/v1.\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/mistral-api-vs-reflection-beam.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/mistral-api-vs-reflection-beam.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"mistral-api\", \"b\": \"reflection-beam\"}`.
