Mistral AI Events, Agents & Async Patterns

Overview

Async and event-driven patterns for Mistral AI: the Agents API for stateful multi-turn workflows, Batch API for cost-effective bulk inference (50% cheaper), SSE streaming endpoints, background job queues, and Python async processing. Mistral does not have native webhooks — this skill covers the patterns that replace them.

Prerequisites

• @mistralai/mistralai SDK installed
• MISTRAL_API_KEY configured
• For agents: La Plateforme access to create agents
• For batch: JSONL file preparation
