Use the Mistral API through Portkey for:
  1. Enhanced Logging: Track API usage with detailed insights and custom segmentation.
  2. Production Reliability: Automated fallbacks, load balancing, retries, time outs, and caching.
  3. Continuous Improvement: Collect and apply user feedback.

​
1.1 Setup & Logging

  1. Obtain your Portkey API Key.
  2. Set $ export PORTKEY_API_KEY=PORTKEY_API_KEY
  3. Set $ export MISTRAL_API_KEY=MISTRAL_API_KEY
  4. pip install portkey-ai or npm i portkey-ai
""" OPENAI PYTHON SDK """

from portkey_ai import Portkey

portkey = Portkey(

    api_key="PORTKEY_API_KEY",

    # ************************************

    provider="mistral-ai",

    Authorization="Bearer MISTRAL_API_KEY"

    # ************************************

)

response = portkey.chat.completions.create(

    model="mistral-tiny",

    messages = [{ "role": "user", "content": "c'est la vie" }]

)

import Portkey from 'portkey-ai';

const portkey = new Portkey({

    apiKey: "PORTKEY_API_KEY",

    // ***********************************

    provider: "mistral-ai",

    Authorization: "Bearer MISTRAL_API_KEH"

    // ***********************************

})

async function main(){

  const response = await portkey.chat.completions.create({

      model: "mistral-tiny",

      messages: [{ role: 'user', content: "c'est la vie" }]

  });

}

main()

​
1.2. Enhanced Observability

  • Trace requests with single id.
  • Append custom tags for request segmenting & in-depth analysis.
Just add their relevant headers to your request: 
from portkey_ai import Portkey

portkey = Portkey(

    api_key="PORTKEY_API_KEY",

    provider="mistral-ai",

    Authorization="Bearer MISTRAL_API_KEY"

)

response = portkey.with_options(

    # ************************************

    trace_id="ux5a7",

    metadata={"user": "john_doe"}

    # ************************************

).chat.completions.create(

    model="mistral-tiny",

    messages = [{ "role": "user", "content": "c'est la vie" }]

)

import Portkey from 'portkey-ai';

const portkey = new Portkey({

    apiKey: "PORTKEY_API_KEY",

    provider: "mistral-ai",

    Authorization: "Bearer MISTRAL_API_KEH"

})

async function main(){

  const response = await portkey.chat.completions.create({

      model: "mistral-tiny",

      messages: [{ role: 'user', content: "c'est la vie" }]

  },{

    // ***********************************

    traceID: "ux5a7",

    metadata: {"user": "john_doe"}

});

}

main()
Here’s how your logs will appear on your Portkey dashboard:

​
2. Caching, Fallbacks, Load Balancing

  • Fallbacks: Ensure your application remains functional even if a primary service fails.
  • Load Balancing: Efficiently distribute incoming requests among multiple models.
  • Semantic Caching: Reduce costs and latency by intelligently caching results.
Toggle these features by saving Configs (from the Portkey dashboard > Configs tab). If we want to enable semantic caching + fallback from Mistral-Medium to Mistral-Tiny, your Portkey config would look like this: 
{

	"cache": {"mode": "semantic"},

	"strategy": {"mode": "fallback"},

	"targets": [

		{

			"provider": "mistral-ai", "api_key": "...",

			"override_params": {"model": "mistral-medium"}

		},

		{

			"provider": "mistral-ai", "api_key": "...",

			"override_params": {"model": "mistral-tiny"}

		}

	]

}
Now, just set the Config ID while instantiating Portkey: 
""" OPENAI PYTHON SDK """

from portkey_ai import Portkey

portkey = Portkey(

    api_key="PORTKEY_API_KEY",

    # ************************************

    config="pp-mistral-cache-xx"

    # ************************************

)

response = portkey.chat.completions.create(

    model="mistral-tiny",

    messages = [{ "role": "user", "content": "c'est la vie" }]

)

import Portkey from 'portkey-ai';

const portkey = new Portkey({

    apiKey: "PORTKEY_API_KEY",

    // ***********************************

    config: "pp-mistral-cache-xx"

    // ***********************************

})

async function main(){

  const response = await portkey.chat.completions.create({

      model: "mistral-tiny",

      messages: [{ role: 'user', content: "c'est la vie" }]

  });

}

main()

​
3. Collect Feedback

Gather weighted feedback from users and improve your app: 
from portkey import Portkey

portkey = Portkey(

    api_key="PORTKEY_API_KEY"

)

def send_feedback():

    portkey.feedback.create(

        'trace_id'= 'REQUEST_TRACE_ID',

        'value'= 0  # For thumbs down

    )

send_feedback()

import Portkey from 'portkey-ai';

const portkey = new Portkey({

    apiKey: "PORTKEY_API_KEY"

});

const sendFeedback = async () => {

    await portkey.feedback.create({

        traceID: "REQUEST_TRACE_ID",

        value: 1  // For thumbs up

    });

}

await sendFeedback();
