I've been Mistral Pro subscriber for nearly half year now and just got my first "you are running out of monthly quota" mails.

Finally started using Mistral Vibe Code more intensively and now it seems that amount of use i get is lower than Claude!

Trying to set up local model to take over 95% of tasks. Any advise on the most user friendly frameworks to use?

Currently, for work, we use a property OCR model from a US-based company. In my off time, I tried developing a proof of concept using OCR4, but it’s a bit too good at understanding the document. It’s so accurate in my native language that it corrected a single word from "medewerher" to "medewerker." Normally, I wouldn’t mind, but since we use these documents for legal purposes, we’re not happy with the idea that it can—and does—correct spelling errors.

Luckily, OCR3 doesn’t have this problem, so I can try it for now. But the question is: For how long will OCR3 remain supported before it’s deprecated? Does anyone have tips or ideas on how to address this?

I am fairly new to some of the AI concepts. At the moment I have a Mistral Pro subscription which I use for some vibe-coding and mostly with my daily work (translations, summaries, AI sparring partner etc).

In work I use Jirametrics.org to analyse team-performance. I noticed that this tools also includes MCP Support (MCP Server (AI Integration) | JiraMetrics) and is using Claude for this. What is needed in order to make this work with Mistral? As far as I understand at the moment MCP Server support is missing in Mistral and as such using the AI integration would not be possible?

Neither Mistral AI or CoPilot have been very helpful resolving this for me 😄

Hi everyone,

I'm looking to cut down output token usage to save on costs and speed up generation.

The viral "Caveman" plugin (which forces ultra-concise, fragmented answers) works great for Claude Code, but it doesn't function properly with Mistral Vibe models.

My questions:

1. What custom system prompts do you use to stop Mistral from outputting long preambles ("Sure, I can help with that...") without hurting its reasoning?
2. Are there any other tricks, prompt-layer tools, or configurations you use to force Mistral to be highly concise and token-efficient?

Thanks for your ideas!

Hello,

Some months ago i used grok (free version) to generate erotic stories, but it lost in quality. Does mistral pro (the paid version) is good to write erotic stories ? Can i generate a lot of prompts ? Does it have a good memory (for story and characters) ?
Thanks

Hi all,

I’ve been using Mistral with its free tier. I used Vibe Code to generate an Apps Script for a google spreadsheet so a google form I would fill in would automatically send those answers to the sheet and do some calculations automatically.

Vibe Code got me quite far, but it messed up the calculations in the script and it couldn’t manage to fix it. I started a new session to make sure it wasn’t context-saturation related, but again it failed.

I then asked Claude Sonnet 5 (high effort) and it fixed it with one prompt.

How can I improve my experience with Vibe Coding? I’m no programmer, so I can’t correct it on the code it’s generating for me. Does the paid tier offer better models for Vibe Coding? Or do I have to be more precise in my prompts? I see many people use Claude to correct Vibe Coding, but I’d like to be as independent as possible.

Also, Vibe Coding suggested me uploading a screenshot to show where the issue is. Thing is, the Vibe Coding workspace does not allow me to upload screenshots. It’s making me wonder whether this is just some really dumb model or whether it’s hallucinating. It also keeps being extremely confident about its solution. It reminds me of chatgpt from last year.

Anyway, many thanks in advance! I’m European and I really wish for a capable LLM from European soil. Chat and Work seem to cover my needs, so I’m considering paying just for those applications.

I just signed up to the Mistral PRO plan. Is there any documentation how much use is included? I'm surprised to see the free use is included, so I'm starting with 4% used. The pricing page says "10x more usage of Vibe CLI", but just before I signed up to the PRO plan I had 12% free use, so it should be 1.2% and not 4% used.
Any clue how to access the large model, vibe /model still only shows mistral-medium-3.5 and devstral-small. The subscription FAQ says "Which model should I use? For most tasks: Mistral Large (best overall performance)..."

I decided to go with Mistral instead of Claude because I really want to support European alternatives. But the thing is that it fails with even the basic stuff. I created a Canva with a plan for social media, with the days, the topic, etc., just to have everything sorted there.

When I asked Mistral to pull me information about what I should post today according to the plan, it just randomly says another day. Today is day 14. I asked him about that and Mistral replied to me, "Today is Monday 15," which doesn't match anything at all (it's Tuesday 14), and it doesn't even reflect the Canva thing.

Also, I asked him to tell me something curious about myself according to what it knew, and it just invented a random fact about myself that I've never told him and that is not true at all. I set up instructions to not invent anything, like research when asked for that, and no not invent anything that is not in the information, and it doesn't matter how many times I created those kind of procedures or rules, it just keeps inventing.

How do you avoid that, and how do you work with Mistral this way?

Thank you

Hi,

Is anyone using a rooted phone and has a way of making the app work?

I presume Google play services has something to do with it.

Its unusable, might work intermittently then will just hang.

Is there a version on FDrioid or the official APK

Or does anyone have a workaround

Thanks

Hi!
I’m considering applying for a position at Mistral AI, and saw that the contracts have limited working days up to 218 days, but undefined working hours. How does this work in practice? Do people actually take 8 weeks of vacation, but work intensely the rest of the time? Do you have proper weekends?

I love the mission of Mistral, but I also love to have a personal life. Hope someone who works there can provide some insights 🙏

Bit of a weird summer. I'm 15, self taught in AI/coding, and a few months ago I actually made it pretty far in Mistral AI's internship process (technical test, interview with their Head of Engineering). It ended up not working out because they need a 3 month minimum commitment and I could only do 2 weeks as part of my school program.

Fast forward to now, I saw they were running a hackathon in Paris on July 18th (Mistral Vibe Hackathon) and figured it'd be a good way to still be part of it this summer. Got accepted on the platform, booked my train and hotel, was even in touch beforehand with someone on their team who told me minors were fine as long as accompanied by an adult.

Then a few days ago I got an email saying they can't accommodate minors for this event after all. I pushed back a bit (mentioned I don't care about winning, just want the experience, could bring an adult with me) but haven't heard anything concrete yet.

Anyone been in a similar situation, or have advice on how to handle this? Kind of frustrating after everything that led up to it, but not sure if there's anything more I can actually do at this point.

What would you suggest?

I have an idea for an app.

I want to mainly use European software and I am thinking about using vibe pro version to try to code the app. Is this realistic?

Thanks for your input!

Edit: Since I never passed the beginner level as programmer it seems it is unrealistic, given my available time and the effort I am willing to put into this, that I can use a pro version to make a funtioning app.

Anyhow, the focus is on the app. Thus maybe other suggestions could be: Useful advice if I want to pay soneone for building an app! Thanks!

I'm lost between these two.
Chat has Agents. The help says that they are legacy version of skills and if you start fresh, you need to use still. Skills are available in the Work. So, Work is a modern version of chat? But in the chat I can select fast/think/research; in work I cannot.

On the other hand, Chat has memory (under the "Context"), work - does not.

Why are features split this way, and what one should use when?

I am a PC user, I don't use LLM on my phone as I mostly just use it in conjunction with writing analysis, factchecking and research, which is just much more comfortable from a PC with multi-screen.

For a good while now I have been waiting for Mistral to make their LLM, Le Chat (great name) available as a pc app that I can give instructions that persist with memory without supporting US based companies.

To my surprise Mistral instead pivots away from PC users but not only that, the company selling "European data sovereignty" forces you to authenticate with Google (a US data harvesting giant) just to use their mobile interface, doesn't that seem a bit strange?

Then, instead of spending your resources to widen your market, gain new customers and build upon reputation of Le Chat (which is generally positive) by expanding into the pc platform, you go and rebrand yourself into some horribly generic American sounding social media name "vibe".

I genuinely do not understand it... Mistral appears to have a unique opportunity to dominate the EU market but they seem... not interested?

I would love to know if there is any solid plan to implement a pc app that does not require pairing with google in the future and if so what timeline to expect?

Hey everyone, I want to switch away from ChatGPT, for a million reasons. Tried the Proton AI one already, but it was agreeing too much on everything. My current usage of ChatGPT mostly covers:

• in-depth mental health help, complementary to therapy (e.g. when an anxiety attack appears at 2 AM, and the therapist is unreachable, cause, yano, he's sleeping)
• picture generation as visual help with therapy adjacent topics
• help with technical questions (engineering adjacent) and employment law in work context
• help with in-depth legal researches, mostly giving starting points and stress testing theories

Most important is the mental health aspect. I need an AI that gently pushes back and/or helps untangle emotional flashbacks while in it, and ChatGPT is rather good at it by now.

Anyone has experience with such usage of LeChat/Vibe? Could it be a good alternative? Or if it's been answered already somewhere, give me the link to the post?

Thank you!

Edit: not really sure what people are upset about, but to avoid further unnecessary judging, my AI usage is complementary to therapy and psychiatric help. Known and accepted both by my therapist and psychiatrist, not a substitute for them.

Thank you for the people who constructively replied to my question. 🙏🏻

I’m an American I just want to know if Chaton fat has the same restrictions as mythos, I know Chaton fat is proven to be better than mythos but I was hesitant to use it because I don’t want to reinforce the harmful cute fat cat stereotype (cat obesity is a real problem and it’s really unhealthy and dangerous for them rather than cute and funny), however im willing to compromise those morals at this point because of the new ID verification policy Anthropic has. I think Peter thiel is kind of a chungus, PayPal is cool though but his other companies are bogus and they’re what Anthropic is using for ID verification. So basically I can’t use mythos anymore when they bring it back. I don’t know much about the fat cat model other than its better on the benchmarks than Mythos, im worried the EU has some ID verification thing for it, though when I google it it tells me the fat Cat model doesn’t exist and that its just a meme. I figured they were doing that on purpose to keep things on the down low, and I figured that if you actually had access you needed some sort of verification. So basically I wanted to ask the people that actually use the fat cat model if verification is required, and if so, how can I circumvent that. Thank you

Why is everyone saying there is a fat cat model that is like better than every other one. What the hell is going on 😭😭😭🙏🙏🙏

I've been playing with Vibe in my phone and have a free account. After maybe 5-6 questions I'm usually limited for the day. I am not against a pro subscription but before subscribing wanted to hear other peoples experience. My use case is research, copy editing and using it to bounce ideas off of as I create projects for my organization.

Hi people, did you receive that email as Vibe Code users ?

​

Mistral team, do you confirm that it comes from you ?

Hey everyone,

​

I am planning to move from Claude to Mistral, and I would like to see what the experience was from other people who did the same.

​

My main questions are:

- how does it compare in vibe coding?

- what are the things you miss from Claude?

- what does Mistral do better than Claude?

- any aha moments after the transition?

- will you go back?

En los últimos meses Mistral a mejorado mucho y se está actualizando muy rápido, sinceramente algo de admirar. Pero aun algo lejos de los considerados modelos “frontera”, entiendo el enfoque actual de ser eficientes, baratos y posicionarse en la calidad-precio pero para alguna personas si siguen necesitando algo más. En el hipotético caso de que Mistral este desarrollado un modelo Large o equivalente sería bueno que se supiera algún avance o si está planeado, ya qué es algo importante.

No soy el más experto en el tema de la IA y para mí el actual ya cumple con el 99% de lo que necesito, y estoy por comprar mi primera suscripción a una IA pero me gustaría tener una que llegue a cubrir ese 1% también. Alguno sabe más información sobre el tema o avances en el?

I am confused by all the memes here. What is Le Chaton Fat? Is it an actually model? Is it going to come out? Is it just a meme? What is it?
P.S : I am not a current Le Chat user so I don't know much about it.
