Kenning's take
What it does
Mistral Vibe CLI is a coding agent that runs in the terminal, reads a whole codebase and edits files, runs commands and writes tests from plain-language instructions. It launched in December 2025 alongside the Devstral 2 coding models and now sits within Mistral Vibe, with IDE extensions, remote agents and a web version. The free plan includes limited coding sessions, and the Pro plan allows all-day use.
