Key Takeaways:

🚀 Mistral Vibe is a CLI coding agent that reads your repo, Git state, and tools for file edits, shell commands, and tests.
💸 The free Experiment API plan lets you prototype with Medium 3.5 at no cost (rate-limited, may be used for training).
🔗 Paid Le Chat Pro ($14.99) or Team ($24.99) unlocks higher limits and full-day Vibe usage plus privacy controls.
🛠️ One-line curl installer, uv, or pip gets you running on Mac/Linux; WSL recommended for Windows.
📊 Medium 3.5 is a 128 B open-weights model with 256 k context, 77.6 % SWE-Bench Verified, and configurable reasoning.
🎨 @-file refs, !-shell runs, /-slash commands, and non-interactive --prompt mode make scripting easy.
👍 Remote “teleport” sessions let cloud sandboxes finish long tasks while you’re away and report back diffs or PRs.

Mistral Vibe is a terminal-based AI coding agent similar to Claude Code and Gemini CLI, powered by Mistral Medium 3.5 (128B parameters, 256K context, open weights). It supports file reading/writing, shell commands, code search, and slash commands. The free API experiment plan allows testing without payment, though usage may be used for model training — making it unsuitable for private or sensitive code. Key use cases include codebase understanding, test generation, refactoring, bug fixing, and documentation. Mistral is also pushing remote/async agent sessions that run in cloud sandboxes and integrate with GitHub, Linear, Jira, and Slack. Pricing for full access starts at $14.99/month on the Pro plan, with API billing at $1.50 per million output tokens.
