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**Together AI Inference.** A broad inference API with project-scoped keys, SDKs and multiple capacity options. Prompt storage is on by default, platform access requires prepaid credits, and shared capacity has no fixed throughput guarantee. Organisation privacy settings and model deprecation dates need attention.\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### Together AI Inference\n\n1. Create a project-scoped key and set TOGETHER_API_KEY. Avoid deprecated legacy keys.\n2. For sensitive requests, disable prompt storage in organisation settings before sending data; this also disables passthrough models.\n3. Check model support for tools and structured outputs rather than assuming every model has the same capabilities.\n4. Back off on 429 and 503 responses. Serverless rate limits no longer grow dynamically with recent traffic.\n5. Check the deprecation schedule before choosing a model; Llama 3.3 70B Turbo is scheduled to leave serverless on 22 October 2026.\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Mistral AI API or Together AI Inference?\n\nMistral AI API scores 71.2 (BB) on agent readiness against Together AI Inference's 67.8 (B), and leads in 4 of 7 scored categories. Together AI Inference leads on reliability.\n\n### Do Mistral AI API and Together AI Inference need an API key?\n\nBoth need an API key.\n\n### Can an agent call Mistral AI API and Together AI Inference without installing anything?\n\nYes.
