# Mistral AI

> Connect your Mistral AI-powered application to Latitude for observability.

## Overview

This guide shows you how to integrate **Latitude Telemetry** into an application that uses the **Mistral AI** SDK.

<Check>
  You'll keep calling Mistral exactly as you do today. Telemetry simply
  observes and enriches those calls.
</Check>

<Note>
  Auto-instrumentation for Mistral is available in the **Python** SDK. For other
  languages, send traces via the [OpenTelemetry exporter](/telemetry/otel-exporter).
</Note>

***

## Requirements

* A **Latitude account** and **API key**
* A **Latitude project slug**
* A project that uses the **Mistral SDK** (`mistralai`)
* A **Mistral API key** (set as `MISTRAL_API_KEY`)

## Steps

<Steps>
  <Step title="Install">
    <CodeGroup>
      ```bash pip theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark"}}
      pip install latitude-telemetry mistralai
      ```

      ```bash uv theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark"}}
      uv add latitude-telemetry mistralai
      ```

      ```bash poetry theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark"}}
      poetry add latitude-telemetry mistralai
      ```
    </CodeGroup>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Initialize and use">
    ```python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark"}}
    import os

    import mistralai
    from mistralai import Mistral

    from latitude_telemetry import Latitude, capture

    latitude = Latitude(
        api_key="your-api-key",
        project="your-project-slug",
        instrumentations={"mistralai": mistralai},
    )

    client = Mistral(api_key=os.environ["MISTRAL_API_KEY"])

    def generate_reply():
        response = client.chat.complete(
            model="mistral-small-latest",
            messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Hello"}],
        )
        return response.choices[0].message.content

    capture("generate-reply", generate_reply)

    latitude.shutdown()
    ```
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Seeing Your Traces

Once connected, traces appear automatically in Latitude:

1. Open your **project** in the Latitude dashboard
2. Each execution shows input/output messages, model, token usage, latency, and errors
