Mistral AI has launched Codestral, its very first large language model for coding tasks. It is fluent in 80+ programming languages and outdoes much of the competition using less compute.
Mistral AI, the French company behind the cutting-edge Mistral and Mixtral language models, has announced Codestral, its first LLM designed specifically for coding help. The company said that its newest LLM is fluent in over 80 programming languages including Python, Java, C, C++, JavaScript, Bash, Swift, and even Fortran which came out in 1957.
Similar to other coding LLMs, Codestral can help developers complete functions, write tests, and complete any partial code using a fill-in-the-middle mechanism. According to the company, developers and the companies they work for can benefit from using Codestral because it will reduce the risk of errors and bugs in their code.
