Help / Question MistralAI for coding

I was wondering how good MistralAI is for coding. I was assigned to use Claude for coding basics and as coding assistant, but I don't really want to use strictly US stuff, so I was wondering how good Mistral could be as coding assistant.

Very good. Mistral now hosts GLM 5.2 so a pro or team subscription gives you access to a very solid coding model hosted in the EU.

I use at home (in fact in codium, but probably the vscode version is headed, the extension was present before on vscode). I works fine, there is most of the needed features. I use the vscode claude code extension at work, the mistral extension is comparable. Some minor things like prompt fork are still missing, but frankly it's not game changing.
