Pixeltable’s Mistral AI integration enables you to access Mistral’s LLM and other models via the Mistral AI API.

​
Prerequisites

​
Important Notes

  • Mistral AI usage may incur costs based on your Mistral AI plan.
  • Be mindful of sensitive data and consider security measures when integrating with external services.
First you’ll need to install required libraries and enter a Mistral AI API key. 
%pip install -qU pixeltable mistralai

import os
import getpass

if 'MISTRAL_API_KEY' not in os.environ:
    os.environ['MISTRAL_API_KEY'] = getpass.getpass('Mistral AI API Key:')
Now let’s create a Pixeltable directory to hold the tables for our demo. 
import pixeltable as pxt

# Remove the 'mistralai_demo' directory and its contents, if it exists
pxt.drop_dir('mistralai_demo', force=True)
pxt.create_dir('mistralai_demo')

Connected to Pixeltable database at: postgresql+psycopg://postgres:@/pixeltable?host=/Users/asiegel/.pixeltable/pgdata
Created directory `mistralai_demo`.

<pixeltable.catalog.dir.Dir at 0x3381254c0>

Create a Table: In Pixeltable, create a table with columns to represent your input data and the columns where you want to store the results from Mistral. 
from pixeltable.functions.mistralai import chat_completions

# Create a table in Pixeltable and add a computed column that calls Mistral AI

t = pxt.create_table('mistralai_demo.chat', {'input': pxt.String})

messages = [{'role': 'user', 'content': t.input}]
t.add_computed_column(output=chat_completions(
    messages=messages,
    model='mistral-small-latest',
    model_kwargs={
        # Optional dict with parameters for the Mistral API
        'max_tokens': 300,
        'top_p': 0.9,
        'temperature': 0.7
    }
))

Created table `chat`.
Added 0 column values with 0 errors.

# Parse the response into a new column
t.add_computed_column(response=t.output.choices[0].message.content)

Added 0 column values with 0 errors.

# Start a conversation
t.insert([{'input': 'What three species of fish have the highest mercury content?'}])
t.select(t.input, t.response).show()

input response
What three species of fish have the highest mercury content? The three species of fish that typically have the highest mercury content are: 1. King Mackerel 2. Shark 3. Swordfish These fish are often at the top of the food chain and consume other fish that have accumulated mercury in their bodies. As a result, they tend to have higher mercury levels. It's recommended to limit consumption of these fish, especially for pregnant women, nursing mothers, young children, and people who eat fish frequently.
