After a bit of work (FP8 dequant, some debugging), got Mistral Vibe working on my M3 Max w/ Devstral 2 Small, running locally w/ LMStudio. It worked quite well in a quick demo, as shown below (everything below is happening 100% locally) – video at 4x speed: https://x.com/N8Programs/status/1998591943798882484

Congrats to @MistralAI on the big launch 🚀 You can check out Mistral Vibe in Zed today – just download it and add your API key! https://x.com/zeddotdev/status/1998456122886238589

Devstral 2 beats or ties Deepseek v3.2 71% of the time by third party preference and is smaller/faster/cheaper (esp Small 2) !!! i think there’s a good chance @theo spoke too soon -Mistral is just starting out on a very epic comeback. Nextgen will get >10x compute and i’d bet https://x.com/swyx/status/1998600513538109476

nice that it’s open weight, but comparing dense vs moe models and only looking at total params is pretty unfair, if you look at active params instead of total params it’s a different story: – GLM 4.6 (32B): 74% fewer – Minimax M2 (10B): 92% fewer – K2 thinking (32B): 74% fewer – https://x.com/eliebakouch/status/1998427299788550450

i should clarify, no hate on mistral here, i’m really glad they release it in open weight and i’m sure it will be useful for researcher! It’s the comparison on total parameters for dense vs moe that i find very misleading but it’s not something that they advertise heavily (it’s”” / X https://x.com/eliebakouch/status/1998436178714882330

Thats a pretty restrictive license that will make using these Mistral models or building on them impossible for most organizations. Even if you don’t make $20M/month a potential acquirer may. Historically, a lot of labor for open source projects comes from for-profit firms.”” / X https://x.com/emollick/status/1998509960347709842
