Use the EU or US region

Route chat requests and the model catalog through Mistral’s EU or US endpoint — for example, to keep inference inside the EU.

Prerequisites

• The pi-mistral-native package installed
• An API key configured (Set up your API key)

1. Set the region. Pick one method:

   Command

   /mistral set endpoint.region eu

   File

   Add this to your user config file:

   { "endpoint": { "region": "eu" } }

   Environment

   export MISTRAL_REGION=eu

   Ignored if any config file sets endpoint.region. The value must be exactly eu, us or global — case-sensitive.

2. Run /mistral and check that endpoint.region shows eu.

3. Run /mistral test to confirm the regional endpoint answers.

4. Start a chat and pick a mistral-native/… model.

Only chat moves to the region

Knowledge tools, server-side tools, agent mode and connectors keep using the global endpoint — those services are not available regionally. Regional token prices are 10% higher.
