AI Studio is a platform where you can access and manage models, APIs, and workspaces. It allows researchers to connect large language models (LLMs) and related tools to their own applications and research workflows, making it possible to automate tasks and work with larger amounts of data.

AI Studio includes among other features: 

• API access to language models (LLMs) 
  Use Mistral’s language models directly in your own software or research workflows.
• OCR and image processing 
  Extract and analyse text from documents and images using built-in OCR and vision models.
• Speech recognition 
  Convert speech to text and work with audio-based material.
• AI agents 
  Create AI-driven tools that can help automate selected research tasks.
• Automation and larger-scale processing 
  Run analyses on bigger datasets and automate repetitive parts of your research. 

Mistral Le Chat is a language model that supports research through an interactive chatbot interface. 

Le Chat includes among other features: 

• General AI assistance 
  Interact with a language model to explore ideas, draft content, and analyse research material.
• Knowledge integration and search 
  Retrieve and synthesise information with transparency about sources.
• Libraries and workspace organisation 
  Organise external data sources, documents, and web content into libraries within your workspace to generate more relevant responses.
• AI agents 
  Create and use AI agents to automate selected tasks and follow structured instructions.
• File analysis 
  Upload and analyse documents, images, and mixed content using built-in OCR and vision models.
• Code execution sandbox 
  Run code for data analysis, simulations, and computational tasks.
• Canvas for creative ideation 
  Develop and refine documents, presentations, and other materials in a collaborative workspace.
• Image generation 
  Generate visual material and illustrative concepts directly within the chatbot interface

Le Chat can be assessed here. In the top right corner, you can login. Login with your AAU-username. 

API access must be requested through CLAAUDIA here.

Mistral AI is available to researchers at Aalborg University. Access is provided through an AAU login.

Le Chat has a usage limit on messages and features such as image generation and in-depth research reports. However, the limit is generous and resets daily. 

Le Chat is an interactive chatbot interface that allows you to work directly with a language model in your browser. It is suited for tasks such as drafting text, analysing material, generating content, and exploring ideas.

AI Studio provides access to the same underlying models through API access. It is intended for researchers who want to integrate the models into their own applications, scripts, or research workflows, for example to automate tasks or process larger datasets. 

Mistral AI may be used for data classified as level 1 under AAU’s data classification model. However, Mistral AI is not approved for processing personal data, and data containing personal data must therefore not be uploaded to or processed in Mistral AI.

If you are unsure what constitutes personal data, you can read more here. 

Mistral AI may store data to provide and secure its services, in line with its privacy policy.

According to their terms, customer data is not used to train their models unless explicitly agreed.

No. Mistral AI is not allowed to train their models using data from Aalborg University. 

No specific technical skills are required to use Mistral Le Chat. The chatbot interface is designed for interactive use in the browser and can be used without technical experience.

Mistral AI Studio also delivers easy to use transcription and ocr features while the API usage requires basic programming skills, for integration into applications, scripts, or research workflows.

If you are unsure which solution fits your needs, CLAAUDIA can provide guidance.

Yes. Through Mistral AI Studio, researchers have API access to the models, which allows integration into applications, scripts, and research workflows.

This makes it possible to automate tasks, process larger datasets, or incorporate AI functionality into existing research software and pipelines.
