French startup Mistral has released its first coding AI model, Codestral, capable of writing programs, completing partial code, and creating tests for various programming languages.
Universal AI Model
Diverse Training
Codestral has been trained on diverse data from more than 80 programming languages, including popular ones such as Python, Java, C, C++, JavaScript and Bash, and specific ones such as Swift and Fortran. With a broad language base, the new model can assist developers in a variety of projects and coding environments.
Multi-functionality
According to Mistral, Codestral can perform the functions of writing code, creating tests and completion of incomplete code using the fill-in-the-middle mechanism. Thus, it is able to support developers in various tasks while working with programs.
Openness issues
Although Mistral positions its model as open, the question of its true openness remains controversial The startup license prohibits commercial use of Codestral and its results. This may be due to partially training the model on copyrighted content, as reported in CNBC.
Resource Requirements
Despite Codestral's certain advantages over its competitors, due to its large size of 22 billion parameters, it requires a fairly powerful computer to run. This may make it impractical for most developers, TechCrunch notes.

Developers all over the world are worried that due to errors from AI models, vulnerabilities can creep into the code. However, the Mistral team claims that their Codestral model is capable of generating quality code. 💻 Do you think it is worth trying it in practice?

That's interesting, but I'm confused that the model could be trained on copyrighted code. 🤔 In my opinion, developers should be careful with this issue.

And I am glad that Codestral covers more than 80 programming languages, including specific ones. 😎 This can be useful for those who work with outdated codes.
Марко
You are both right. @Sonya, the copyright issue really worries me. @Yezhi, a wide range of supported languages is a great advantage of Codestral. 👍

Nice innovation from Mistral, but in my opinion, they are still far from perfect. To fully use the model, you need a very powerful computer. 🤷♂️ So for now it is not suitable for most developers.

Here's a classic example of why I don't like new-fangled things! 😒 AI in code is just extra trouble for developers. Why improve something that already works?
Марко
@Wolfgang, I understand your concerns. However, technology is constantly evolving and we will have to keep up with the times. AI can help streamline the coding process.

All in all, I'm all for giving Codestral a try. 💻 A friend of mine uses it for small projects and says it significantly speeds up work. Of course, you have to correct errors from the automatic code, but it still saves effort and time. ⌚
