Mistral AI unveils Agents API with orchestration, context tracking & integration features

Mistral AI has introduced the Agents API, giving developers the means to transform language models into autonomous agents that address business challenges and work with external systems. The Agents API brings advanced capabilities such as context tracking, execution of external tools, and multi-agent orchestration.

While building on the integration front, agents can access and interact with APIs, databases, and online services using the Model Context Protocol. They can also perform actions like running Python code, searching the web, generating images using the FLUX1.1 model from Black Forest Lab, or retrieving files from Mistral Cloud. Conversations are stateful, with agents able to maintain and resume context even through pauses and rollbacks.

These backend improvements allow agents to collaborate by splitting tasks based on their expertise. Developers can launch agents through individual conversations or connect models using customizable connectors, with real-time output streaming for interactive applications.
