Mistral launches new Moderation API
Mistral AI has introduced a content moderation API to enhance safety in AI applications. This service, integral to their Le Chat platform, enables users to detect undesirable text across nine policy categories, including unqualified advice and personally identifiable information (PII). The API offers two endpoints: one for raw text and another for conversational content, both supporting multiple languages such as Arabic, Chinese, English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Russian, and Spanish.
The moderation classifier is designed to provide effective guardrails by addressing potential model-generated harms. Mistral AI has shared performance metrics, including Area Under the Precision-Recall Curve (AUC PR) across various policies, demonstrating the classifier's efficacy. The company is collaborating with customers to develop scalable, lightweight, and customizable moderation tools and is actively engaging with the research community to advance safety measures in the AI field.
