Mistral-Bridge Bypasses Mistral Rate Limits With a Free Proxy

Hitting 429 rate limit errors while routing models through 9Router? Mistral-Bridge is a free, open-source proxy that keeps your API pipelines running. It acts as an OpenAI-compatible drop-in, so your existing code keeps working.

It supports GLM-5.2 workloads, runs on a lightweight FastAPI engine, and comes with a one-command CLI.
