Mistral AI, the French startup known for its efficient models, launches Codestral: a 22 billion parameter model built specifically for generating and completing code. It supports over 80 programming languages, has a context window of 32,000 tokens (enough to read entire files), and is twice as fast as Code Llama 34B despite having fewer parameters. It installs directly in VS Code and JetBrains via official plugins. For those wanting a European and open alternative to OpenAI and GitHub tools, it is a breakthrough.
