Mistral

Mistral

OpenClaw supports Mistral for both text/image model routing (mistral/...) and audio transcription via Voxtral in media understanding. Mistral can also be used for memory embeddings (memorySearch.provider = "mistral").

CLI setup

openclaw onboard --auth-choice mistral-api-key
# or non-interactive
openclaw onboard --mistral-api-key "$MISTRAL_API_KEY"

Config snippet (LLM provider)

}
