Prompting tips for Mistral Large
- Be explicit and show the shape of the answer. Spell out format, tone and constraints up front, and include one short example of the output you want — Mistral Large follows concrete instructions better than abstract ones.
- Give it real tools. Pass a
tools=[...]schema instead of asking it to "pretend" — let Mistral Large emit tool calls, execute them, and feed results back for the next turn. - Constrain JSON with a schema. Use
response_format/ structured outputs rather than "reply in JSON" to get valid, parseable objects every time. - It's premium — spend where it counts. Route easy calls to a cheaper model and reserve Mistral Large for the hard reasoning; trim system prompts and few-shot examples that don't move the result.
Tips are derived from Mistral Large's actual capabilities — context window, tool & JSON support, modality and price tier — not generic advice.
