Hi Synapticians!

Today, the Parisian startup Mistral AI lifted the veil on Mistral Code, a programming assistant for VS Code and JetBrains IDEs. The tool banks on local or on-prem deployment so that source never leaves the company’s walls—a stance that contrasts with purely cloud-based solutions and is already delighting CIOs chasing digital sovereignty.

The licensing picture is still murky: although Codestral is “open-weight” and remains free for non-commercial use, it’s unclear whether the same terms will apply to Mistral Code.

Facing it is Claude Code from Anthropic, officially launched on 22 May 2025, which embraces gigantism: up to 200 k tokens of context, “agentic” exploration of Git repositories, and per-token billing reminiscent of California’s grand hotels—five-star service included. Mistral Code thus positions itself as the lighter, more sovereign alternative: a duel like a tight espresso versus a giant latte, where each team can pick the aroma that best wakes up its developers—and its budget. 😏
