European AI giant Mistral AI recently announced the release of an upgraded version 2.0 of its terminal programming assistant, Mistral Vibe. This version is powered by the new Devstral 2 model, aiming to provide developers with a more powerful natural language programming experience through a command-line interface.
The core advancement of Vibe 2.0 lies in its strong code orchestration capabilities. Developers can now use natural language to control multiple files simultaneously and take full advantage of the context information across the entire codebase. To further refine workflows, the new version introduces a custom "sub-agent" feature, specifically responsible for tasks such as testing and code reviews. This means that AI is no longer just a single chat window but rather a smart team that can collaborate based on specific needs.
Notably, Mistral has also optimized its interaction logic. When faced with ambiguous instructions, Vibe 2.0 will no longer make automatic decisions blindly but will actively ask developers for clarification to ensure the accuracy of code generation. Additionally, the newly added "/slash commands" support pre-configured workflows, greatly improving the efficiency of terminal operations.
Currently, Mistral Vibe is integrated into the $14.99 per month Le Chat Pro plan and the team plan. For enterprise users, Mistral also offers additional deep services such as fine-tuning, reinforcement learning, and code modernization. As Devstral 2 moves toward paid API access, Mistral is building a complete developer ecosystem from model development to professional terminal tools.
