Mistral’s New Coding Model: Fast, But Not the Best
Mistral just dropped a new coding model for AI assistants like Continue.dev, claiming speed and efficiency. But here’s the thing—compared to Qwen 2.5 Coder, it’s not winning any gold medals. While Mistral focuses on getting tasks done faster, Qwen 2.5 is like that friend who’s not only quick but also nails every detail. If you’re coding, speed isn’t everything; accuracy and depth matter too.
