The model name provided is invalid. Please ensure the model name is correct and try again.

The " Invalid model name" error in the mistral-ai API, or any similar API like OpenAI, can be triggered by several reasons:

Incorrect Model Name

The model name specified in the request does not match any of the permitted or available models. This could be due to a typo, an outdated model name, or the model not being supported by the API.

Invalid Configuration

The request may contain invalid syntax or configuration, such as incorrect headers, missing required properties (e.g., Content-Type or Authorization headers), or incorrect data types for the parameters.

Rate Limiting or Throttling

Although less likely for an invalid model name, rate limiting or throttling issues can sometimes manifest as a 400 error if the request is malformed or not properly handled within the rate limits.

Environmental or Variable Issues

The error could also arise if environment variables or other configuration values are not correctly set or are of the wrong type (e.g., text instead of numeric).

Network or Middleware Issues

Problems with network traffic or middleware configurations (such as Axios setup) can also lead to a 400 error, although this is more general and not specific to the model name.
