#2I'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.

#3I'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.

#4Look interesting, eager to play around with it! Devstral was a neat model when it released and one of the better ones to run locally for agentic coding. Nowadays I mostly use GPT-OSS-120b for this, so gonna be interesting to see if Devstral 2 can replace it.
I'm a bit saddened by the name of the CLI tool, which to me implies the intended usage. "Vibe-coding" is a fun exercise to realize where models go wrong, but for professional work where you need tight control over the quality, you can obviously not vibe your way to excellency, hard reviews are required, so not "vibe coding" which is all about unreviewed code and just going with whatever the LLM outputs.
But regardless of that, it seems like everyone and their mother is aiming to fuel the vibe coding frenzy. But where are the professional tools, meant to be used for people who don't want to do vibe-coding, but be heavily assisted by LLMs? Something that is meant to augment the human intellect, not replace it? All the agents seem to focus on off-handing work to vibe-coding agents, while what I want is something even tighter integrated with my tools so I can continue delivering high quality code I know and control. Where are those tools? None of the existing coding agents apparently aim for this...

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

I don’t think it was ever an option since it had ties with the french government early on (Cédric O) and Macron’s party is quite pro EU

Maybe they are just trying to be funny.

Did you try Aider?

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].
