Transformative Features of La Plateforme
Simplified Model Customization
As large language models (LLMs) evolve, finding specialized use cases becomes increasingly important. To meet this demand, Mistral offers a range of customization options for its flagship models, including Mistral Large 2 and Codestral.
Developers can tailor these models to specific applications using base prompts, few-shot prompting, or fine-tuning techniques.
By leveraging the methods developed by the Mistral AI science team, customized models maintain high performance while incorporating domain-specific knowledge, context, or tone.

The Alpha Release of Agents
Mistral’s introduction of AI agents marks a significant leap in AI technology. These autonomous systems, powered by LLMs, can plan, use tools, and execute complex tasks based on high-level instructions.
Agents can even collaborate to achieve sophisticated outcomes, making them a valuable asset for businesses looking to streamline processes and improve efficiency.

What are AI Agents?
AI agents are autonomous systems designed to perform tasks based on high-level instructions. They leverage advanced natural language processing capabilities to understand and execute complex tasks, collaborating to achieve more sophisticated outcomes. These agents represent a new frontier in AI technology, enabling users to automate workflows and enhance productivity.

Creating and Customizing AI Agents
Two Methods for Creating Agents
La Plateforme Agent Builder: A user-friendly interface that allows users to create and configure AI agents with ease. This tool provides various customization options, including model selection, sampling temperature adjustment, and the ability to add instructions and few-shot learning examples.
Agent API: Designed for developers, the Agent API offers a programmatic solution for integrating agent creation into existing workflows or applications, promoting seamless integration and automation.
Customization Options
Model Selection: Choose from a variety of models, such as Mistral Large 2 (mistral-large-2407), Mistral Nemo (open-mistral-nemo), Codestral (codestral-2405), or any fine-tuned models.
Temperature Settings: Adjust the sampling temperature to control the randomness of the agent’s output, ensuring optimal performance and alignment with specific requirements.
Instructions and Demonstrations: Add optional instructions and few-shot learning examples to guide the agent’s behavior and enhance its performance.
Deployment and Interaction
Once an agent is deployed, users can interact with it via API using the agent_id or enable chat functionality on Le Chat, Mistral’s conversational AI platform. This flexibility allows for seamless communication and collaboration, making AI agents an integral part of business operations.
Future Prospects and Vision
Mistral’s La Plateforme represents a significant stride toward democratizing AI agent development. As the demand for AI agents grows, Mistral remains committed to pushing the boundaries of what’s possible, with ongoing research and development efforts aimed at introducing even more advanced features and capabilities.
As Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg recently highlighted, the potential for AI agents to outnumber humans is within reach. With millions of small businesses worldwide, the future holds the possibility of every business having its AI agent, transforming industries and driving innovation.
Getting Started with La Plateforme
To begin exploring the possibilities of AI agents with La Plateforme, users can access the Agent Builder through the platform’s console and follow the intuitive steps to create and configure their agents.
For developers, comprehensive documentation is available to guide the integration of agent creation into existing workflows.
