The updated terms state that Mistral AI Studio and APIs are now limited to business customers only. Previously, consumers outside the EEA could use APIs for personal needs and access Mistral AI Studio. Under the revised agreement, personal account holders retain access to Vibe and other products, but can no longer access APIs or Studio through personal accounts. Consumers who currently use these features will lose access unless they convert to a business account or transition to an alternative service.
View change record →The updated terms authorize Mistral AI to execute a broader range of actions on your behalf when you connect third-party services, including data modification, deletion, transmission, and invocation of external systems. Previously, the terms limited Mistral's authority to retrieve, process, and store data; the revised language now permits executing, modifying, deleting, invoking, and transmitting data through third-party services. Mistral's liability disclaimer has been expanded to explicitly exclude responsibility for data corruption, deletion, unauthorized disclosure, or other actions performed by third-party services on your request. You are now explicitly responsible for all actions you request Mistral AI Products to perform through third-party integrations, including how those third parties handle the data involved.
