Mistral now trains on user input by default, except on enterprise tier

Taking away the ability to centrally enforce an opt-out across an organization is a massive red flag.

You can't reasonably expect every individual employee on a Team plan to remember to dig into their personal settings and flip a privacy toggle. For any company dealing with sensitive IP or GDPR-compliant data, this basically makes the Team tier unusable.

This isn't the case. There's a toggle on https://admin.mistral.ai that allows you to disable training for both Vibe and Console/API for your entire organization, I just checked.

I think they removed the toggle for new customers (on the Team plan) because I don’t have it. If I had, I probably wouldn’t have posted this.

I mean it’s still annoying that I subscribe my org because they say the toggle is off, then find users telling me in fact it is on. Then to find that I can’t disable it org wide and have to ask each user to “please watch out” is pretty humiliating.

Yes. If the privacy control only exists per user, it isn't a control for a team.

Defaults matter more than the blog post. "You can opt out" is not the same product as "the org can actually enforce opt out."
