Mistral AI appears to be developing a web search feature that was discovered during reverse engineering by TestingCatalog. The feature is accessed through a new “Options” toggle, which currently offers a single setting called “Web Search.” This feature, when enabled, would allow the model to perform searches on the Internet. Based on the design, this toggle could be applied across various models, potentially extending beyond just the core model to other agents as well. However, specific details on how this will be implemented remain unclear. Presently, Mistral AI models do not have this capability, but its eventual release could represent a significant leap forward for the platform.
