# Devstral
Devstral is an agentic [[Large Language Models (LLMs)|LLM]] for software engineering tasks, built in collaboration between [[Mistral AI]] and All Hands AI (creators of OpenHands). Released in May 2025 under the [[Apache 2.0 License]], it was later unified into [[Mistral Small 4]].
The model is specifically trained to solve real GitHub issues, running over code agent scaffolds such as OpenHands or SWE-Agent. It scored 46.8% on SWE-Bench Verified, outperforming prior open-source state-of-the-art models by more than 6 percentage points. Under the same test scaffold, it exceeded far larger models like Deepseek-V3-0324 (671B) and Qwen3 232B-A22B, and surpassed GPT-4.1-mini by over 20%.
Key characteristics:
- **Lightweight**: runs on a single RTX 4090 or Mac with 32GB RAM
- **Agentic coding**: trained to contextualize code within large codebases, identify relationships between components, and find subtle bugs
- **Open source**: released under [[Apache 2.0 License]] on HuggingFace, Ollama, Kaggle, Unsloth, and LM Studio
- **API name**: `devstral-small-2505`, priced same as Mistral Small 3.1 ($0.1/M input, $0.3/M output tokens)
- **Enterprise-ready**: suitable for privacy-sensitive repositories with stringent security and compliance requirements
