[BUG CLIENT]: Pydantic ValidationError shadows actual server error

[jpic]

Python -VV

3.13

Pip Freeze

1.9.11

Reproduction Steps

client = Mistral(api_key='correct api key')
client.chat.complete(model='invalid model name', messages=messages)

Expected Behavior

excepted to getting the assistant message returning the error "Requested model is unsupported"...
... without resorting to a breakpoint in chat.py

Additional Context

Pydantic ValidationError

Suggested Solutions

Dunno, perhaps don't shadow the server responses with pydantic?

Hey @jpic, thanks for opening an issue !

I will need a bit more context to understand it:

(1) Could you please provide us with the error you got ? So that we're on the same page

(2) Not sure I understand the Expected Behavior section:

excepted to getting the assistant message returning the error "Requested model is unsupported" without resorting to a breakpoint in chat.py

Do you mean you would have liked for the client.chat.complete not to raise an Exception?
