Mistral launches Vibe 2.0 with customizable agents and Devstral 2 to accelerate terminal development

Mistral AI announced the launch of Mistral Vibe 2.0, a significant update to its native terminal coding agent, now powered by the Devstral 2 model family. The goal is clear: turn the terminal into a highly configurable AI-assisted development environment, capable of automating complex code tasks with greater precision, control, and security for technical teams. From a technical standpoint, Vibe 2.0's main advance is the introduction of customizable subagents. Developers can create specialized agents for specific tasks, such as pull request review, test generation, or deploy scripts, invoking them on demand. This enables a modular automation architecture, more aligned with the real workflow of modern engineering teams. Another relevant differentiator is the multiple-choice clarification system. Rather than executing actions based on assumptions, Vibe now requests confirmations when command intent is ambiguous, reducing risks in sensitive code operations. This mechanism reinforces the reliability of AI use in production environments, a critical point for corporate adoption. The addition of skills via slash commands further amplifies productivity. With commands such as /deploy, /lint, or /docs, Vibe loads preconfigured workflows that encapsulate best practices and recurring routines. Combined with new unified agent modes, which group permissions, tools, and behaviors, developers can switch contexts quickly without changing tools or environments. On the business side, the launch also marks Devstral 2's transition to paid API access, with free use only on the Experiment plan. Vibe 2.0 is available on Le Chat Pro and Team plans, with a pay-as-you-go option for intensive use or BYOK (bring your own key). This move signals the platform's commercial maturity and its focus on professional users and mid-to-large teams. Mistral Vibe 2.0 reinforces the trend of AI agents increasingly integrated into the real development cycle, with fine-grained control and focus on practical productivity.
