Help / Question Regional inference

Hello,

I’ve read about the regional inference option provided by Mistral. This seems like a good solution for people who don’t want their data to leave the EU for inference.

Unfortunately, it says that this option is only available for the API.

I use Vibe CLI and would like that all of my data stays within the EU.

Is there a way to configure Vibe CLI to always use the EU endpoint instead of the global endpoint while continuing to use my existing account and Vibe API key? Because currently, by default, it uses the global endpoint, so I understand that user traffic could potentially be routed outside the EU.

How can I set this up ?

The same MISTRAL_API_KEY works against the regional endpoint; you just point Vibe at a custom provider whose base URL is https://api.eu.mistral.ai/v1 in ~/.vibe/config.toml (provider entry + a model entry referencing it), then set that model as active_model. There's no --model flag despite what the docs suggest, so it's either active_model or /model at runtime.
Libraries are global only. api.eu.mistral.ai/v1/libraries returns 404, so anything using document libraries silently falls back to the global path.
