If you can run this using ollama, then you should be able to use https://www.continue.dev/ with both IntelliJ and VSCode. Haven’t tried this model yet - but overall this plugin works well.
They say no llama.cpp support yet, so no ollama yet (which uses llama.cpp)

Better yet install Open Web GUI and ollama at the same time via docker. Most people will want a familiar GUI rather than the terminal. https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui This will install ollama and open web GUI: For GPU support run: docker run -d -p 3000:8080 --gpus=all -v ollama:/root/.ollama -v open-webui:/app/backend/data --name open-webui --restart always ghcr.io/open-webui/open-webui:ollama Use for CPU on…
Why do people recommend this instead of the much better oobabooga text-gen-webui? https://github.com/oobabooga/text-generation-webui It's like you hate settings, features, and access to many backends!

#43But I JUST switched from GPT4o to Claude! :( Kidding, but it isn't clear how to use this thing, as others have pointed out.
What made you switch?

#44The first sentence is wrong. The website says: > As a tribute to Cleopatra, whose glorious destiny ended in tragic snake circumstances but according to Wikipedia this is not true: > When Cleopatra learned that Octavian planned to bring her to his Roman triumphal procession, she killed herself by poisoning, contrary to the popular belief that she was bitten by an asp.

Mamba support was added in March of this year:

I have not yet seen a PR to address Mamba2.

#46What are the steps required to get this running in VS Code? If they had linked to the instructions in their post (or better yet a link to a one click install of a VS Code Extension), it would help a lot with adoption.

"All you need is users" doesn't seem optimal IMHO, Stability.ai providing an object lesson in that. They just released weights, and being a for profit, need to optimize for making money, not eyeballs. It seems wise to guide people to the API offering.
Github Copilot makes +100M/year, if not way way more.
Having a VS Code extension for Mistral would be a revenue stream if it was one-click and better or cheaper than Github Copilot. It is malpractice in my mind to not be doing this if you are investing in creating coding models.

Looking through the Quickstart docs, they have an API that can generate code. However, I don't think they have a way to do "Day 2" code editing. Also, doesn't seem to have a freemium tier...need to start paying even before trying it out ? "Our API is currently available through La Plateforme. You need to activate payments on your account to enable your API keys."
I signed up when codestral was first available and put my payment details in. Been using it daily since then with continue.dev but my usage dashboard shows 0 tokens, and so far have not been billed for anything... Definitely not clear anywhere, but it seems to be free for now? Or some sort of free limit that I am not hitting.
