Before taking this course, you should have an intermediate level understanding of Vanilla JS including working with APIs and async JavaScript. Below are our suggested resources to get you up to speed.
Mistral AI is a pioneer in open-source development of Large Language Models (LLMs), founded by ex-employees of Meta Platforms and Google DeepMind.
Front-end developer and co-founder of Scrimba. Per loves helping other people learn new skills so that they can improve their lives. He makes his tutorials as simple as humanly possible, and focus on getting the students to the point where they can start building projects on their own.

Throughout 25 interactive lessons, you will learn how to build intelligent applications that span from straightforward chat completions to complex functionalities like Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) and function calling.
Starting off, you’ll get an introduction to Mistral's open-source models, including Mistral 7B and Mistral 8x7B, and progresses to their commercial models. You'll gain hands-on experience leveraging the full suite of Mistral’s La Plateforme.
The rest of the course is mainly focused on two essential paradigms in AI engineering: knowledge retrieval and AI agents. In the first part, you’ll learn how to split text documents with LangChain, convert them into embeddings, store them in a vector database, and finally perform retrieval.
In the AI agents segment, you’ll learn how to give Mistral access to the functions within your app, and let their models decide when to call them. This skill will enable you to create a whole new type of user experience, where people can interact with your apps through conversation instead of mere clicking.
Towards the end, we will also go through how you can use Ollama to easily run inference on your own computer, and use it as the backbone of any AI app you develop locally.
So if you’re looking for a quick but well-rounded intro to Mistral, this is your perfect course.
to the QMistral AI is a Paris-based pioneer in the creation of large language models (LLMs). Founded by ex-employees of Meta Platforms and Google DeepMind, Mistral rose to prominence in the AI community in 2023 when they launched the world’s most capable open-weights LLMs, Mistral 7B and Mixtral 8×7B. Since then, they have also released an API platform, a chat assistant, several commercial models (not open-source), and an improved open-source Mixtral model.
A key benefit of Mistral is how flexible their solutions are. Both their open and closed models can be deployed outside of the Mistral platform, either via a cloud provider, or on your own dedicated server, ensuring that the data stays fully within your walls, and with advanced levels of customization.
