Codestral: Revolutionizing Code Generation Across 80 Programming Languages
As a developer, I’ve always been fascinated by the potential of artificial intelligence to transform the way we code. Recently, I had the opportunity to explore Codestral, a groundbreaking AI code generation model that supports an impressive 80 programming languages. In this article, I’ll delve into the capabilities of Codestral, its performance benchmark, and how it’s poised to revolutionize the coding experience.
Performance Benchmark and Analysis
Codestral’s ability to generate code sets a new high standard for speed and efficiency, outperforming older models designed for similar tasks. This is a significant breakthrough, as it enables developers to focus on high-level logic rather than tedious coding tasks.
Accessing Codestral: A New Endpoint and Integration Options
Developers can now access Codestral via its own endpoint: codestral.mistral.ai. The API Key for this endpoint is managed individually and isn’t bound by typical organizational rate limits. During an initial 8-week beta phase, access to this endpoint is free, but requires joining a waitlist to ensure top-quality service.
Codestral integrates seamlessly with popular development environments.
Beyond the endpoint, Codestral is accessible on multiple platforms, including the standard API endpoint: api.mistral.ai. This endpoint serves various purposes, such as research, batch queries, and third-party application development. It uses tokens for billing and works well when users can access results without needing their own API keys.
Interactive Conversations with Codestral
Now, developers can chat with Codestral through Le Chat, an instructed version of the model available on various platforms. This enables developers to easily interact with Codestral and utilize its capabilities.

Streamlining Development with Codestral
Codestral teams up with community partners to smoothly integrate into widely-used developer tools, boosting productivity and enabling streamlined AI app development. For application frameworks, Codestral now works with LlamaIndex and LangChain, facilitating the creation of intelligent applications with ease.
Codestral integrates with popular development tools.
Moreover, Codestral is now accessible within the VSCode and JetBrains environments through the integration with Continue.dev and Tabnine. This empowers developers to not only generate code but also engage in interactive conversations with Codestral directly within their preferred coding environments.
