What happened
Mistral's help center confirms that user input and output data (conversations, documents, user-provided content) may be used for model training unless you explicitly opt out. The opt-out mechanism varies depending on which Mistral service or platform you use, though the page does not detail the specific steps for each service.
Why it matters
If you are shipping with Mistral APIs or using Le Chat/Vibe with sensitive or proprietary data, you must actively find and enable the opt-out for your specific service — the default is that your data may be trained on. This is a concrete decision point for anyone evaluating Mistral vs. providers like OpenAI or Anthropic that have different default data policies.
Discussion angle
Compare default data-training policies across LLM providers (Mistral, OpenAI, Anthropic, Google) and what that means for choosing an API when handling client or proprietary data.
