Being towards death

Heed not to the tree-rustling and leaf-lashing rain, Why not stroll along, whistle and sing under its rein. Lighter and better suited than horses are straw sandals and a bamboo staff, Who's afraid? A palm-leaf plaited cape provides enough to misty weather in life sustain. A thorny spring breeze sobers up the spirit, I feel a slight chill, The setting sun over the mountain offers greetings still. Looking back over the bleak passage survived, The return in time Shall not be affected by windswept rain or shine.

Mistral AI releases Codestral 25.01 programming large language model

French AI startup Mistral AI released its latest programming large language model (LLM) — Codestral 25.01 — on January 13, 2025. This model has been optimized from the previous version, offering higher efficiency and faster code generation speeds.

Key Features#

  1. Efficient Architecture and Improved Tokenizer:

    • Codestral 25.01 employs a more efficient architecture and an improved tokenizer, enhancing code generation and completion speeds by approximately two times.
  2. Extensive Programming Language Support:

    • The model is proficient in over 80 programming languages, including Python, Java, C++, JavaScript, Bash, Swift, and even covers Fortran, which was introduced in 1957.
  3. Enhanced Fill-in-the-Middle (FIM) Functionality:

    • Excels in fill-in-the-middle tasks, suitable for various scenarios such as code completion, code correction, and test generation.
  4. Performance Metrics:

    • In multiple benchmark tests, Codestral 25.01 demonstrated leading performance:
      • Python Code Generation: Scored 86.6% in the HumanEval benchmark, outperforming many similar models.
      • SQL Processing: Achieved a score of 66.5% in the Spider benchmark, showing excellent performance.
      • Average Performance Across Languages: In comprehensive tests across various programming languages, it averaged a score of 71.4%, indicating its broad applicability.

Benchmark Testing#

We have benchmarked the new Codestral against leading coding models with parameter counts below 100 billion, which are widely regarded as the best in class for FIM tasks.

Overview Programming Language HumanEval Results#

Starting today, developers can use Codestral 25.01 through various integrated development environments (IDEs) and plugins. Additionally, enterprise users can deploy the model locally or in a virtual private cloud (VPC) via Continue.dev to meet data and model residency requirements.

Co-founder Ty Dunn stated, “For AI code assistants, code completion takes up a significant amount of work, requiring the model to excel in fill-in-the-middle (FIM) tasks. Codestral 25.01 has made significant strides in this area. Mistral AI's new model can provide faster and more accurate suggestions, which is crucial for achieving precise and efficient software development.”
