French AI Startup Mistral releases its own “atmospheric code” client, Mistral Code, to compete with established operators such as Windsurf, Anthere’s Cursor and Github Copilot.
Mistral Code, a fork of the Open Source project, is an AI-driven coding assistant that bundles the Mistral models, an “in-id” assistant, local implementation options and industrial tools in one package. A private -beta is available from Wednesday for JetBrains Development platforms and the US code from Microsoft.
“Our goal with Mistral Code is simple: delivery of the best code models to Enterprise developers, which makes everything from immediate completion to multi-step refactoring possible via an integrated platform that is implemented in the cloud, on reserved capacity, or on the air-applied on-Prunch.
AI programming assistants are becoming increasingly popular. While they still have trouble coding quality softwareTheir promise to stimulate the productivity of coding is to encourage companies and developers to accept it quickly. A recent poll Discovered that 76% of developers used last year or intended to use AI tools in their development processes.
According to Mistral, Mistral Code is powered by a combination of internal models, including code stral (for code autocomplete), code stral embed (for the search and collection of code), Devstral (for “agent” coding tasks) and Mistral Medium (for chat assistance). The client supports more than 80 programming languages and a number of third-party plug-ins and can reason about things such as files, terminal outputs and problems, says Mistral.
Mistral claims that customers, including consultancy firm Capgemini, Spanish and Portuguese bank Abanca and the French National Railway Company SNCF, use Mistral Code in production.
“Customers can refine the underlying models on private repositories or posts or lightweight variants,” explains Mistral in his blog post. “For IT managers, a rich Admin console exposes detailed platform controls, deep observability, seat management and user analyzes.”
Mistral says that in the future it is planning to continue to make improvements to Mistral Code and to contribute at least part of those upgrades to the through open source project.
Mistral was founded in 2023 and is a frontier model Lab with a series of AI-driven services, including a chatbot platform, Le-Chat and mobile apps. It is supported by VCs such as general catalyst and has so far raised more than € 1.1 billion (around $ 1.24 billion).
A few weeks ago, Mistral launched the aforementioned Codeestrale, Devstral and Mistral medium models. Around the same time, the Le Chat Enterprise company rolled out, a business-oriented chatbot service that offers tools such as an AI agent Builder and the models of Mistral Integrates with third-party services such as Gmail, Google Drive and SharePoint.
