4. **Select Model:** Choose your desired model from the "Model" dropdown.

### Using Codestral

[Codestral](https://docs.mistral.ai/capabilities/code_generation/) is a model specifically designed for code generation and interaction.
For Codestral, you can use different endpoints (Default: codestral.mistral.ai).

To use Codestral with Cline:

1. **Select "Mistral" as the API Provider in Cline Settings.**
2. **Select a Codestral Model** (e.g., `codestral-latest`) from the "Model" dropdown.
3. **Enter your Codestral API Key** (from `codestral.mistral.ai`) or your La Plateforme API Key (from `api.mistral.ai`) into the appropriate API key field in Cline.
