Devstral 2 beats or ties Deepseek v3.2 71% of the time by third party preference and is smaller/faster/cheaper (esp Small 2) !!!
i think there's a good chance
@theo spoke too soon -Mistral is just starting out on a very epic comeback. Nextgen will get >10x compute and i'd bet will be greatly bootstrapped by currentgen
I was pleasantly surprised trying out the Vibe CLI. yes it's a me-too product. but the onboarding experience has love put into it. needs image support and other table stakes because am used to ClaudeCode/secretCogCLI, but it's a decent signal that Mistral is very committed to building out koding capabilities and making them open source. Reminder what we learned from
@AnjneyMidha's survey.
Introducing the Devstral 2 coding model family. Two sizes, both open source.
Also, meet Mistral Vibe, a native CLI, enabling end-to-end automation.
