Uh, the "Modified MIT license" here[0] for Devstral 2 doesn't look particularly permissively licensed (or open-source): > 2.

Personally I really like the normalization of these "Permissively" licensed models that only restrict companies with massive revenues from using them for free.

If you want to use something, and your company makes $240,000,000 in annual revenue, you should probably pay for it.

I'm so glad Mistral never sold out. We're really lucky to have them in the EU at the time when we're so focused on mil-tech etc.

They’ll switch to military tech the second it becomes necessary, don’t kid yourself. I’m just glad we have a European alternative for the day the US decides to turn its back on us. This tech is simply too critical to pretend the military won’t use it. That’s clearer now than ever, especially after the (so far flop-ish) launch of the U.S. military’s own genAI platform.

It's not like there aren't already military AI startups in the EU. e.g. Helsing.

10x cheaper price per token than Claude, am I reading it right? As long as it doesn't mean 10x worse performance, that's a good selling point.

Even if it is 10x cheaper and 2x worse it's going to eat up even more tokens spinning its wheels trying to implement things or squash bugs and you may end up spending more because of that. Or at least spending way more of your time.

I'm sure I'm not the only one that thinks "Vibe CLI" sounds like an unserious tool. I use Claude Code a lot and little of it is what I would consider Vibe Coding.

Using LLM's to write code is inherently best for unserious work.

These are the cutting insights I come to HN for.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Their new CLI agent tool [1] is written in Python unlike similar agents from Anthropic/Google (Typescript/Bun) and OpenAI (Rust). It also appears to have first class ACP support, where ACP is the new protocol from Zed [2]. [1] https://github.com/mistralai/mistral-vibe [2] https://zed.dev/acp

I did not know A2A had a competitor :(

They're different use cases, ACP is for clients (UIs, interfaces)

They're looking for free publicity. "This French company launched a tool that lets you 'vibe' an application into being. Programmers outraged!"
