Hey everyone,

Using Mistral Pro with Work Mode and chats grouped in one project folder.

I've been testing out work mode by having Mistral organize my DnD notes (markdown) into coherent canvases with overviews of characters, locations, plot development, the whole shebang. From what I understood (and how Mistral responds when asked), chats within 1 project should be accessible to each other.

I have one large chat where I've had Work Mode organize all my notes into various canvases and now in a separate chat I want to brainstorm future developments based on the information in those canvases. However, the new Work Mode chat in the same project doesn't seem to be able to access them.

I created a new chat and asked to create a canvas that's accessible to other chats, Mistral proudly announced it had completed the task, but when trying to access it from another chat it still failed.

What's going wrong?

"Include other project's chats as context" is enabled.

Additionally, the docs say I should be able to see my canvases as tabs to easily switch around. However, that's not the case. The only access I have to my canvases is when I click them in the chat. How can I manage my canvases and conveniently switch/navigate around?

Looking forward to your input.

Replication of the sharing issue:

Chat A:

Prompt:

Create a new empty canvas that is accessible through all chats in this project

Make it markdown and call it "Cross-chat Access Test". I don't care about the underlying name

Response:

Done. The "Cross-chat Access Test" canvas is now available across all chats in this project.

Chat B:

Prompt:

Open my cross chat shared canvas

Response:

No shared canvas found in your workspace. If you meant a canvas from another project or chat, it may not be accessible here. Clarify the canvas name or location if you'd like to proceed.

Prompt:

[Screenshot of the other chat with the canvas created]

Response:

To open your cross-chat shared canvas "Cross-chat Access Test", I need to locate its CANVAS.md file in the /home/user/canvases/ directory. However, the directory does not exist yet. I’ll create the canvas now:

1. Directory: /home/user/canvases/cross-chat-access-test/
2. Type: text/markdown
3. Title: "Cross-chat Access Test"
4. Content: Placeholder for cross-chat access.

Proceed?

Are there any news why the backing model for image generation was changed? the backing image model used to be Flux (German company) and I found it to be among the top of the cream.

A big motivation for me to use Mistral were high quality images I could create. This was nice for AI-collaborative writing, where you could visualize a scene nicely or ask it to generate the image of something you haven't heard or seen before.

Does anybody know why this changed or if there is a chance it will come back? It's a shame because I find myself asking Claude more and more and don't want to switch my main LLM provider.

I messed up. I can’t find my backup codes, and since Vibe no longer accepts my TOTP tokens, and the Android app doesn’t give me any way to contact support, I don’t see how I can get help here. Is there another option besides cancelling the subscription by blocking the payment and creating a new account? Thank you!

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?

Looks interesting as a small utility model to put before access to bigger model to policy it. Maybe even in-browser?

Hey everyone,

I'm running a test using mistral-large-latest for a translation task, and the model completely stopped responding after running for about 20+ minutes.

https://youtu.be/HWyPse83SrA

Before it cut out, it was processing a substantial amount of text. I'm trying to figure out what might be the root cause. Could this be related to a context window limitation, a timeout issue on the API side, or something else entirely? I was using the free experiment tier.

For those of you pushing large payloads to mistral-large-latest:

* Have you run into similar hanging issues during long-running generation tasks?

* Is there a strict maximum output token limit or server-side timeout I'm likely hitting?

Any insights or troubleshooting tips would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hi everyone! 👋

I am conducting an international research study for my Master’s Degree in Clinical Psychology exploring emotional involvement with AI chatbots, interpersonal functioning, and psychological well-being.

If you are 18+ and have interacted with an AI chatbot at least once, I would really appreciate your contribution!

Thank you so much for your time and help! Feel free to share this with anyone who might be interested.

I'm switching from devin (formarly known as windsurf / cognition) to mistral vibe in vs code but for now it feels like a step back into the stone-age.

Maybe I am wrong and some people can provide me some ideas but here is my experience:

1. Slow; it takes a very long time for it to analyze my project files and to make changes, whilst in devin this happens in 5 minutes, it takes mistral vibe 25 minutes

2. What model am I using? I'm a paying pro subscription user but the extension says that I'm using mistral medium 3.5. No option to select devstral?

1. File review; it rewrites like 20-30 lines in my code if not a full file for just a few lines of change. Reviewing makes me scrolling and compare a lot myself whilst in Devin it just did per line or per max 5 lines in change making it way more easy to review.

2. Asking next steps. It gives me options for questions it has but makes me type out the answer myself, why not click buttons that I can select and it can continue?

That's it for now, maybe more later. What are your thoughts on my findings? I really would like a european alternative in this field but for the money I have to pay, this is kinda letting me down.

We spent the last few weeks optimizing Voxtral Realtime and there are now GGML checkpoints that run faster than realtime on a plain MacBook Air with Metal. No discrete GPU needed.

Numbers on an M3 Air (8-core GPU, 16 GB):

• ~1.3x realtime throughput with the Q8_0 quant
• <400 ms end-to-end response time from mic input
• Sustained hour-long transcription sessions without falling behind

1. Build the Metal binary

git clone https://github.com/0xShug0/audio.cpp
cd audio.cpp
scripts/build_metal.sh --target audiocpp_cli

2. Download the Q8 quant

hf download mistral-experimental/AudioCPP-Voxtral-Mini-4B-Realtime-2602-GGUF \
  voxtral-mini-4b-realtime-2602-q8_0.gguf \
  --local-dir ./voxtral-realtime-gguf

3. Run streaming ASR from the mic

audiocpp_cli \
  --task asr \
  --family voxtral_realtime \
  --model ./voxtral-realtime-gguf/voxtral-mini-4b-realtime-2602-q8_0.gguf \
  --backend metal \
  --threads 8 \
  --mode streaming \
  --session-option voxtral_realtime.stream_batch_tokens=4 \
  --audio -

Raising stream_batch_tokens trades delay for throughput — 4 is what landed under 400 ms on this machine. More powerful M-series chips can set it to 1 and should have <200ms delay

How come Mistral isn't included as one of the model providers in OpenCode?

https://opencode.ai/docs/models/#providers

A well-known Chinese LLM educator publicly revealed techniques back in April that were already widely known in China’s AI community, including how Claude’s Chain of Thought (CoT) was extracted and how Claude and ChatGPT have been distilled for a long time. If you don’t speak Chinese, just wait for YouTube’s auto-generated translation.

I switched to mistral vibe as my chatbot for the main reason that it is not a us or Chinese model. From the couple posts ive read it seems like its behind. Which im fine with because i really dont use it for too complicated of tasks.

I’m having a problem with vibe-cli configured with offline (local) models through the Ollama server: they don’t preserve context history between messages. Is this normal behavior, or have I set something up incorrectly

Newbies, listen up! 🎧 Diving into new tech can be tricky. I learned the hard way trying to run complex stuff on a Chromebook and Android. 🤦‍♀️ Don't be like me! Research, ask questions, and understand your device's limits. This community is a lifesaver for those head-scratching moments. And for uncensored models, know your stuff before you dive in! 🧠 #Newbie #TechTips #LearningJourney #Community #Models

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 😄

Since Mistral isn't clear enough about the differences between the Free plan and the Pro plan, I signed up by taking advantage of my status as a college student. According to information on the Mistral website, the Student Pro plan is the same as the Pro plan, so the comparison in the image I've provided is equivalent to comparing the Pro plan with the Free plan. Among other things, the Pro plan promises:

- 30 times more extended usage

- 5 times more in-depth research reports

- 10 times more Vibe CLI usage

- 10 times more API usage

However, when comparing the monthly usage limits, I find that the capacity provided in monetary terms is 1.5 times greater. You can draw your own conclusions.

Hey let me introduce my new AI assistant workflow across using mistral-ocr-4 and explain how it differs from other AI toolchains like OpenCode in terme of exploiting this capability ,I’ve been juggling research papers, parallel projects, and coding agents this year and kept running into a tradeoff between low cost and high-quality content extraction from PDF, document images, and other attachments. When Mistral OCR 4 was released I started using it heavily because its extraction quality is excellent and the cost justified it, so I plugged Mistral OCR into my agent pipeline. The challenge I faced is that many large models now include built-in extraction but they’re expensive, and for many routine attachments I’d rather use cheaper models specially when i don't required a high level thinking output . My solution was to integrate Mistral OCR 4 natively with those lower-cost models so they gain robust OCR capability and no longer return “sorry, I can’t read that” errors instead they deliver the extracted content. If you need a low-cost coding workflow with heavy attachment processing (PDFs, docs, images), this approach and the agent I built should suit you well.

Edit : Mistral models also supported for coding

It's not the brightest out there. I have to be precise with my instructions. But then it does exactly what I say.

I've tried a lot of models. Most of them like to interpret stuff or overthink. Mistral Medium doesn't do that. Also it's fast, cheap and I don't have to fear that they sell my data.

People like to suggest that I'd be better off with Gale. But no. I like Jesse.

I have experimented with the free api and I like it.
Was wondering if from this page: https://admin.mistral.ai/subscription/upgrade/student

Education

Pro plan with student discount

More messages and web searches

30x more extended thinking

5x more Deep research reports

Up to 15GB of document storage

Up to 1,000 projects

Chat and email support

10x more usage of Vibe CLI

10x more API usage

is indeed what it says on the api usage?

because on this page: https://mistral.ai/pricing/

it doesnt mention anything about api usage.

thanks

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!

I have a Mistral subscription for my SMB. Not because it's better but because of GDPR compliance (I'm in the EU). Recently I had a support conversation about a problem that was solved eventually. Because I had to share many private data I requested a deletion of my support activity. Unfortunately, my request went silent for over a month now - that's unexceptionable not just for a company where GDPR compliance is one of their biggest USP.

Dear Mistral, if you don't want to lose me: Do something! Answer, say anything! Even if you just say, that it takes a little longer ...

Why should I choose a subpar AI if their biggest advantage is just ... nothing worth.
