MistralAI-Training

MistralAI-Training is a crawler run by Mistral AI. It collects web content to train Mistral AI models.

What it does

MistralAI-Training collects pages to train or improve AI models. Most operators use a separate user agent for each job, so you can usually allow or block one without affecting the others.

Model training and content-use controls. Some also govern answer grounding; review the operator's policy before changing access.

User agent

MistralAI-Training

Requests from MistralAI-Training carry this token in their user agent string. Match the token rather than a full string, which changes as Mistral AI updates versions.

robots.txt

To block MistralAI-Training, add this to the robots.txt at the root of your site:

User-agent: MistralAI-Training Disallow: /

Blocking it asks the operator not to use your pages for model training from then on. It does not remove content already collected, and it does not stop the operator's search crawler or live fetchers, which use their own user agents.

To allow it explicitly, for example after a broader rule blocks other crawlers:

User-agent: MistralAI-Training Allow: /

Check what your robots.txt allows for MistralAI-Training and the other AI crawlers in this directory.

Verifying requests

Mistral AI does not publish a way to verify MistralAI-Training's requests, so any client can send this user agent. Treat traffic with this name as a claim, not proof.

In SurfacedBy

SurfacedBy's AI traffic tracking recognizes MistralAI-Training in the user agent. Because SurfacedBy cannot confirm these requests come from Mistral AI, they are shown separately as unverified and are not counted as crawls.
