Along with Vibe CLI, the company's initial step into autonomous coding agents, French AI firm Mistral recently unveiled Devstral 2, the next generation of its coding-focused model family.

The specifics:

Despite being five times smaller, Mistral's 123B Devstral 2 nearly matches the highest open-weight model (Deepseek V3.2) with a score of 72.2% on the SWE-bench Verified.

Despite having only 24B parameters and running on a single GPU or laptop CPU, the Small 2 variation confronts other open-weight competitors.

Notably, Devstral 2 is distributed with a "modified" MIT license that restricts use to businesses with monthly revenue of at least $20 million.

Free to use under an Apache 2.0 license, Mistral's Vibe CLI is a terminal-native coding agent that can handle multi-file updates and scan codebases.

This month, Mistral will be shipped, and just days following the introduction of Mistral 3, there will be a robust Devstral release. The little form appears to be a true development upgrade for models that can be deployed locally and offline on consumer devices, while the main model approaches the open frontier for coding.
