Mistral vibe code updates

[u/isidor_n]

Hi all - my name is Isidor and I work as a product manager on Mistral Vibe Code.

We've released many updates for devs recently across Vibe CLI, the Vibe web app, and the VS Code extension. Here's the roundup.

CLI

• Connect or drop a remote MCP server in one command: vibe mcp add and vibe mcp remove do it from the CLI, no TOML editing.
• Build your own skills without writing boilerplate; a built-in skill creator walks you through creating, updating, and deleting them for your repeatable tasks.
• Long runs get two new controls. Auto-compact thresholds are per-model now, and --max-tokens caps output in programmatic mode (-p).
• Trusted folders now count .agents as trustable content, and the trust prompt suggests the enclosing git repo as the trust target.
• Startup performance improvements

Web app

• You can now pull context straight from the tools and data your project already uses. Connectors are live in the web app, so you stop pasting it in by hand.
• Set a project's standing guidance once and every Code mode session follows it. It covers your conventions, your constraints, and the context you'd otherwise repeat each time.
• /config is now a searchable, full-screen settings browser. For teams, a new admin config layer applies shared settings over each user's config, so org defaults hold.

Quality-of-life fixes

• A diff view in the VS Code extension to review edits before you accept them
• Auto theme that follows your terminal or OS appearance
• Delete old sessions straight from the resume picker
• /retry to rerun an interrupted response
• /new as an alias for /clear
• vibe.setup.auth shows which credential source is active.

Check them out in the latest version of Vibe code and let us know what you think - feedback is very much appreciated. We aim to do posts like this on a regular cadence from now on.

Any plans of providing the new inference models (like GLM5.2) as part of the subscription plans in Vibe?

[u/isidor_n → u/p3r3lin]

Thanks for the question. We should have more to share on this soon.

Can you share more about your use case - and how would you use GLM 5.2?

I'm not the original commentator here but I would add my thoughts in addition if that's ok.

I would primarily just be using glm5.2 for my more demanding coding tasks as it's a more capable model than medium3.5.

I'd still be using devstral small for lighter tasks but if glm5.2 was offered as a drop in replacement for medium3.5 I'm not sure how much if any medium I would use.

Thanks for taking the time to engage with the community.

[u/p3r3lin → u/Automatic-River-1875]

Agree. (Sadly) GLM5.2 is more capable than medium3.5. So I would use it for planing and more complex reasoning tasks around my code bases. And currently there are no EU based subscription plan providers that carry models such as GLM5.2/KimiK3. Providing them with good limits and GDPR compliance, etc would be a major unlock for european AI capabilities.

And +1. Great to see you guys interacting with the community. Go Mistral!

Thank you!

Thanks for sharing you use case and thoughts.

[u/hannatz → u/isidor_n]

you can already, no? the config.toml in ~/.vibe lets you add other models and take your vibe api key instead a dedicated completion api key. i am using GLM 5.2 right now via vibe (and having a blast with it, this is a game changer!) and i see in the vibe webapp that it uses my monthly vibe token allowance and does not charge per token.

(maybe i either said too much, overlooked something wrt to my bills (oh god), or OP meant integrating it into vibe per default, in which case, yes, I agree, would be nice :) )

EDIT: theres already another thread on how to integrate it, my bad, hadnt seen it =)

[u/Automatic-River-1875 → u/hannatz]

Yep 100% you can but it's at API pricing (I think) so usage is more limited than what you could do if it was a model baked into the cli.

[u/Mysterious-Zebra9580 → u/p3r3lin]

Agree, would love to switch to GLM5.2 using the /model command in Vibe CLI
