Mistral AI Surfs Vibe Surfs Tailwinds with New Coding Model

French Startup Mistral Today launched Devstral 2, a new generation of AI models designed for coding, as the company wants to hold Ai labs like those focused on anthropology and more.

This announcement follows a recent launch the Mistral 3 Open-Weight Model familyand confirms mistral’s intent to shut down its larger and larger AI rivals.

Unicorns also jump into the ‘Vibe-coding’ race that has seen the rise of companies like Cursor and Supase With the Mistral vibe, a main-line interface (CLI) aimed at facilitating automation using natural language, with tools for file manipulation, code search, and command execution.

Mistral AI bets on context-specific context values, which are relevant to business use cases. Similar to the AI ​​assistant, Le chat, which can Remember the previous conversation With the user and use the context to guide the answer, Vije Cli Features Continuous History, and can also move the file structure and Git status to build context to inform the behavior.

This focus on production-class workflows also explains why Devstral 2 is quite demanding, requiring at least four h100 GPUs or equivalent for deployment, and weighing in at 123 billion parameters. However, the model is also available in a smaller size with a small devstral, which, in 24 billion parameters, makes it legiallable in consumer hardware.

The models differ in their source licenses – devstral 2 ships under a modified MIT license, while devstral uses apache 2.0.

They also differ in price. Dvstral 2 is now free to use through the company’s API. After the free period, the API price will be $0.40/$2.00 per million (input/output) for Devstral 2, and $0.30 for Devstral Small.

Mistral has been satisfied with Kilo Tool Agent code and clinical to release DIVSTRAL 2 for users, while Mistral Vibe Cli is available as an extension in zed to use the IDE.

Ai Ai Lab champion Mistral is now valued at around 11.7 billion (about $13.8 billion) following its C funding round led by dutch semiconductor company asmlwhich invested €1.3 billion (about $1.5 billion) in September.
