Mistral AI develops open-weight large language models, focusing on efficiency, customization, and cost-effective AI solutions.
Instrument LLM calls made using MistralAI's SDK via the MistralAIInstrumentor
MistralAI is a leading provider for state-of-the-art LLMs. The MistralAI SDK can be instrumented using the openinference-instrumentation-mistralai
package.
pip install openinference-instrumentation-mistralai mistralai
Set the MISTRAL_API_KEY
environment variable to authenticate calls made using the SDK.
export MISTRAL_API_KEY=[your_key_here]
Connect to your Phoenix instance using the register function.
from phoenix.otel import register
# configure the Phoenix tracer
tracer_provider = register(
project_name="my-llm-app", # Default is 'default'
auto_instrument=True # Auto-instrument your app based on installed OI dependencies
)
import os
from mistralai import Mistral
from mistralai.models import UserMessage
api_key = os.environ["MISTRAL_API_KEY"]
model = "mistral-tiny"
client = Mistral(api_key=api_key)
chat_response = client.chat.complete(
model=model,
messages=[UserMessage(content="What is the best French cheese?")],
)
print(chat_response.choices[0].message.content)
Now that you have tracing setup, all invocations of Mistral (completions, chat completions, embeddings) will be streamed to your running Phoenix for observability and evaluation.
Configure and run MistralAI for evals
class MistralAIModel(BaseModel):
model: str = "mistral-large-latest"
temperature: float = 0
top_p: Optional[float] = None
random_seed: Optional[int] = None
response_format: Optional[Dict[str, str]] = None
safe_mode: bool = False
safe_prompt: bool = False
# model = Instantiate your MistralAIModel here
model("Hello there, how are you?")
# Output: "As an artificial intelligence, I don't have feelings,
# but I'm here and ready to assist you. How can I help you today?"
Sign up for Phoenix:

Install packages:
pip install arize-phoenix-otel
Set your Phoenix endpoint and API Key:
From your new Phoenix Space
Create your API key from the Settings page
Copy your Hostname
from the Settings page
In your code, set your endpoint and API key:
import os
os.environ["PHOENIX_API_KEY"] = "ADD YOUR PHOENIX API KEY"
os.environ["PHOENIX_COLLECTOR_ENDPOINT"] = "ADD YOUR PHOENIX HOSTNAME"
# If you created your Phoenix Cloud instance before June 24th, 2025,
# you also need to set the API key as a header:
# os.environ["PHOENIX_CLIENT_HEADERS"] = f"api_key={os.getenv('PHOENIX_API_KEY')}"
Launch your local Phoenix instance:
pip install arize-phoenix
phoenix serve
For details on customizing a local terminal deployment, see Terminal Setup.
Install packages:
pip install arize-phoenix-otel
Set your Phoenix endpoint:
import os
os.environ["PHOENIX_COLLECTOR_ENDPOINT"] = "http://localhost:6006"
See Terminal for more details.
Pull latest Phoenix image from Docker Hub:
docker pull arizephoenix/phoenix:latest
Run your containerized instance:
docker run -p 6006:6006 arizephoenix/phoenix:latest
This will expose the Phoenix on localhost:6006
Install packages:
pip install arize-phoenix-otel
Set your Phoenix endpoint:
import os
os.environ["PHOENIX_COLLECTOR_ENDPOINT"] = "http://localhost:6006"
