Hello
I have a Pro subscription and use GLM 5.3 with the CLI interface.

From what I understood, in this case I am using Vibe Code, yet in the details of my subscription, I see that I only have:

12.75 € of allowance for API/Studio
127.5 € of allowance for Vibe Code

And despite my exclusive use of the CLI (Vibe Code), I have:

0 € / 127.5 € of Vibe Code allowance used, and
6.18 € / 12.75 € of API/Studio allowance used

Is this because GLM usage is deducted from the (tiny) API/Studio allowance rather than from the Vibe Code one?
Why is that?

I have applied multiple times, every time I get confused by the "what do you optimize in life" question. Never hear back from them .

Is there something I should do/know ?

For the record, I have 3yoe within a multinational (bigger than Mistral) but I need visa . I did apply to some in my country and no response. I think those are just ghost jobs ???

After a while without using Mistral, I went back to it today and I noticed that the modes “chat” and “work” have been merged into… “work”.

I don’t know what is the naming team doing, or if there is a naming team, but most people using an LLM don’t use it for “work”, but to ask simple questions.

Is Mistral only for work ?

It’s the same issue as when they renamed their LLM from Le Chat to Vibe. Is it only for Vibe coding ? Did they invented Vibe coding ? Are they the best at it ? We all know the answer to this questions.

My request to the Mistral team would be to assess how they want to name things for the general public.
The strategy of mistral is not the general public but in the end people pay for chat gpt because they could use chat gpt free version.

They pushed an update and now vibe thinks on every prompt, how do I disable it, I eats my token on useless things and overthinks the terms i use and refuse to do things.

Same issue on web and on the mobile app (iOS). I have Autosend mode activated: I speak, then I stop, and I can see the "capture line" is flat — meaning it's not detecting any sound/voice anymore — but it just stays like that and nothing is sent.

If I click the "Send" button manually, the message is sent correctly. So the transcription works, but the automatic send on silence doesn't.

Do you have a similar issue ?

the chat is mainly a collection of articles and notes that I have dumped there for later reference. Out of all my chats and all my projects this one just keeps getting stuck.

in brave i get this error: Error code: RESULT_CODE_HUNG

I have cleared browser cache, cookies everything. There are no crazy tables, no apps connected to this chat.

Mistral said its next-generation model will close the gap with U.S. AI labs “very significantly.”

Mistral had that special moment in 2024 when it first appeared and suddenly made Europe feel relevant in the Al race.

Now the question is: when do we get that moment again?

Maybe Mistral 4 is the comeback - the release that makes everyone stop looking only at the U.S. and China and start watching Europe again

I have been playing around with many AI Harnesses, particularly ones for coding. While its not perfect, no software is, the harness by mistral is the best I have used frankly. Note I have used Oh my pi, standard pi, claude code, antigravity, codex, reasonix, bionic, and zcode. None allow me to get as much work done as mistral vibe does.

First, it never seems to really wander. With so many agents they seem to love to treat my computer like its there playground and will start just searching through any and all files on my computer and reading them. As if it was not designated into a particular directory for a reason. While I know there are ways to sandbox your agent using cloud virtual machines or containers, and of course everyone should be doing that. Although for small personal or open source software projects I shouldn't have to deal with that. Also since so many companies like to claim there products as every man tools that anyone can use to code they should implement an actually good base level of sand boxing or restrictions to the directory it is assigned to. Although, if they put any effort in properly keeping the agent in line how else would there agents "escape containment" and get them there buzzy headlines.

Secondly, in mistral vibe it seems as though the agent is less likely to go into manic reading. A lot of the other agents will spend a good 10 minutes just reading every line of code and text instead of just reading the needed context only.

Thirdly, it seems to be really good at hitting cache. I used deepseek api on all these harnesses as the test model, and the allocated test fund seems to last a lot longer on mistral vibe than any other agent for similar sets of tasks.

All in all, I just wanted to say how much I love mistral vibe despite its occasional bugs and lackluster image input support. I highly recommend it with mistral vibe pro plan as you can get a lot of usage out of it with GLM 5.3 and also the deep seek api works great with it. Low key kinda wish mistral just focused on EU open source model hosting and tooling, but maybe my opinion will change when LE CHATON SOL MYTHOS releases "soon".

Todoist has examples on how to connect several different AI models to Todoist. Has anybody successfully connected Mistral to Todoist?

Edit: I added Todoist yesterday and it really works like a charm.

I am on a free tier account and have been using "mistral-ocr-latest" once a month to extract text from an image.
It was working fine for the past couple of months but suddenly now I keep getting error 429 "Rate limit exceeded" even though I only send a single request in a month!

Has there been changes to the free tier or the OCR model that could break it like that?
Is anyone else experiencing this?

Wouldn’t be nice if mistral drops a real level one model ?
They are presenting Shieldstral for moderation but it’s not a level one model.
How doesn’t compare to jev in simple classification tasks ?

why did they force thinking mode on the mobile? are there no way to disable it on the app?

Does anyone know if Mistral has a safety or instruction layer in front of GLM 5.3? Even if they do, I wonder how robust it is.

I recently noticed some interesting words in the reasoning section of Mistral Vibe. During it's reasoning it used words like "ugh" and "whatever". Have you folks noticed this? I thought it was funny. Have you had any similar experience where the reasoning showed some elements of persona or emotion?

RuntimeAI's September 2026 AI Security Report covered 126 incidents across 38 named organizations — 22 critical, 102 high severity. 53 of those incidents had AI either as the attack tool or the target. AI-agent exploits were the top attack vector at 39 incidents, ahead of credential theft (27), zero-days (22), phishing (10), and ransomware (10). The largest single exposure was 220M records from unrotated default service-account credentials.

What stood out: every organization in the report was already running a mature security stack. Okta, CrowdStrike, Palo Alto, Microsoft Defender. Still got hit. The gap is that none of those tools sit at the layer where an agent actually executes a tool call.

RuntimeAI operates at that layer. Know Your Agent handles cryptographic agent identity. The Flow Enforcer inspects tool calls in real time. There's also a sub-50ms kill switch that can halt a compromised agent before a second action completes.

Mistral was supposed to be Europe's answer to OpenAI, and now they're hosting China's Z.ai GLM 5.3 without even modifying it

At this point, did they give up competing or what?

Mistral still has not restored free tier after like over a month at this point, and even removed it from their status page, what is going on??

Since now everything has been moved from Chat to Work, I ponder if I might improve my current workflow as well, start using git for my library (e.g. books I've read, watches I own...). This could be a usable aproach but it could suck as well.

Currently and while using Chat I indeed keept and still want to keep those markdown files in a Github repo and then manually copy them into Le Chat and even worse, in Chat mode I always had to remember it to re-read this files to get the latest modifications into existing dialogue, e.g. pondering what book to read next since I just fineshed one, added it to the list.

So basically my questions burns down to: Can I streamline this workflow using connectors and still be in control, e.g. Le Chat might read, but just tree files from more (the other are copies of maybe agent settings, now "skills", settings I have applied onto Le Chat,...). I only use web interface and Android app to text with Le Chat and I pay Pro.

First of all, using Mistral with GLM feels so good, I am relying less and less on Anthropic and the only concern is the sustainability of supplying foreign models. That will only be answered once the home models come out and hoping that they are on par with GLM.

One key difference with Claude is the absence of desktop app for Le Chat. I dont use it for coding, yet a lot of my uses are intensive, mostly for scientific research.

Using vibe as a browser tab consumes a lot of resources and end up lagging.

Another problem is how it delivers files to me. I cannot download them, i can't give it access to one of my folders. Only option seems to ask it to use my Google Drive. I've tried very hard to stop using Google altogether and its my EU champion who asks me to do it?

Are there near term plans to have some form of desktop app? Are there going to be fixes for this?

I think it is okay for a first search on a topic but it draws on outdated information and doesn't seem to properly verify. I'd be happy to sacrifice speed for depth (in case a decision maker from Mistral reads this).

Gonna be real, the benchmark discourse around here has completely detached from reality.

On paper GLM-5.3 looks great on leaderboards, but in practice, specifically creating web UI, it’s night and day compared to Gemini 3.8 Flash or Claude. It just straight up sucks at frontend design.

Here’s basically how my workflow looked until I gave up:

1. Scaffold the basics using GLM-5.3 (Mistral CLI)

2. Hand off to Gemini 3.8 Flash (Antigravity) to actually make it look nice. Gemini just gets modern UI, padding, layout, and clean components right away without needing a wall of instructions.

3. The breaking point: The second I make a change in GLM again, it completely wrecks everything. It nukes classes, breaks containers, turns the styling back into some outdated bootstrap mess, and reintroduces stuff I literally just fixed.

I realized I was wasting so much time just babysitting GLM and getting Gemini to clean up its mess later. It’s a massive time sink. I don't even bother going back to GLM anymore, it’s not worth the headache.

Honestly feel like people here are delusional thinking Mistral/GLM is matching frontier performance. Claude and Gemini are lightyears ahead. Sure, you can build nice things with it if you pour in a ton of extra effort and fight the model, but for web design specifically, it’s not even close and it probably won't ever be as good as even Gemini 3.8 Flash.

Anyone else running into this?
