# Mistral Vibe
Mistral Vibe is [[Mistral AI]]'s coding-agent product — a web and CLI surface for AI-assisted software development that runs both interactive sessions and remote cloud agents. As of April 2026, it ships with [[Mistral Medium 3.5]] as the default model, replacing [[Devstral 2]] in the coding pipeline. It is Mistral's answer to [[Claude Code]], OpenAI Codex, and the rest of the agentic-coding wave.
> Distinct from [[Vibe Coding]] (Andrej Karpathy's 2025 term for letting LLMs generate code without review). Mistral Vibe is a product that ships agentic coding workflows; vibe coding is a usage pattern. The naming overlap is unfortunate but real.
## What it ships
- **Interactive coding sessions** — web-based and CLI-driven (see [[Mistral Vibe CLI]]); chat + file edits + tool use against a project
- **Remote agents** — asynchronous cloud-based coding agents that run while you do something else (see [[Mistral Remote Agents]])
- **Local-to-cloud teleport** — a local CLI session can be promoted to the cloud mid-flight; session history, task state, and pending approvals carry across without restarting the work
- **Default model** — [[Mistral Medium 3.5]] (April 2026 onwards); previously powered by [[Devstral 2]]
- **Integrations** — GitHub (code + PRs), Linear / Jira (issues), Sentry (incidents), Slack / Teams (notifications)
- **Plan tiers** — remote agents available on Pro, Team, and Enterprise plans
## Why it matters
- Open-weights frontier model (Medium 3.5) + product surface = self-hostable agentic coding stack with a defensible EU-sovereign deployment story; The New Stack framed the launch as Mistral, "Europe's answer to OpenAI and Anthropic," pushing its coding agents into the cloud
- Replaces Devstral 2 as the model behind the coding agent — Mistral has consolidated its coding line under Medium 3.5
- Positions Mistral against [[Claude Code]] and OpenAI Codex with a stronger "you can run it yourself" pitch
## Caveats
- Public preview status as of April 2026 — capabilities, pricing, and behavior may shift
- "Modified MIT" license on the underlying weights — read terms before production self-hosting
- Naming collision with the [[Vibe Coding]] concept is a marketing risk; expect ambiguity in third-party coverage
