The updated terms eliminate the prior mechanism by which customers could object to material changes and continue operating under the old terms for up to 12 months. Under the revised language, customers now have only two options when a material update is posted: accept the new terms by continuing to use the service, or stop using the service before the update becomes effective. The terms state that 'Customer's continued use of the Mistral AI Products on or after the effective date of the update constitutes Customer's acceptance of the updated Terms.' This means material changes take effect automatically unless the customer terminates service before the effective date.
View change record →The updated terms expand what Mistral AI may collect and use as 'Customer Data' to include 'access to data' and 'coding environment,' not just prompts and fine-tuning data. The company also restructured how it handles AI training: instead of carving out free tiers and specific use cases, training permissions now depend on whether each product defaults to opt-out or opt-in. Critically, data retention and training opt-out preferences selected for other Mistral AI Products do not apply to Labs or Preview Models; if you use these experimental models, Mistral AI may use your data for training regardless of your opt-out settings elsewhere. You can decline to use Labs or Preview Models if you do not want your data used for training.
