Mistral Vibe
Also known as: Le Chat, Mistral Le Chat, Mistral Vibe CLI, Mistral Vibe Code
Mistral Vibe is Mistral AI's agent for code and work, the product Le Chat became in 2026. For code it runs an open source command line agent, IDE access over the Agent Client Protocol and remote agents in cloud sandboxes that open pull requests on GitHub, and for work it brings connectors, document libraries, memory, skills and scheduled tasks. Plans run from free to Pro at $14.99 a month and Team at $24.99 a user.
Mistral Vibe is the agent product of Mistral AI, the Paris model maker, and replaced Le Chat in May 2026 as one agent and one license across work and code, with conversations, settings and plans carried over. Its code half centers on the Vibe CLI, open source under Apache 2.0, plus a VS Code extension, other editors through the Agent Client Protocol and remote coding agents in the Vibe app; its work half is the former Le Chat assistant, merged with chat into one experience in September 2026.
In the terminal, the agent reads the project, edits files, runs commands, hands parts of a task to subagents including a read only explorer, and works under permission modes from ask to auto approve, with per tool rules, trusted folders and hooks that can block commands.
Developers can send a task to the cloud, where remote agents run in isolated sandboxes in parallel for up to 24 hours, clone through the Mistral GitHub App, commit, push and open a pull request for review, with run history, tool calls and logs kept for each session.
On the work side, the agent uses more than 100 connectors, including Gmail, Outlook, SharePoint, Slack, Notion, Linear, Atlassian and Stripe, plus custom MCP servers, searches document libraries, keeps a knowledge base of facts it learns that users can list, edit and delete, runs skills such as deep research and meeting prep, and runs scheduled tasks in public preview.
Free includes limited messages, coding sessions, web searches and up to five scheduled tasks. Pro costs $14.99 a month with higher limits, remote coding agents, hooks and $25.50 of API credits, verified students pay $5.99, Team costs $24.99 a user a month from two users with more storage and data export, and Enterprise adds SAML single sign on, audit logs, an admin API and deployment on premises, in a private cloud or on Mistral Cloud. Data is hosted in the European Union by default with a US option, the CLI can run fully offline on local models, Mistral states it complies with SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 and 27701, and Pro and Team users are not opted out of model training by default.
It fits developers who want an open source terminal agent that can run on their own or local models, teams that want coding and everyday work under one license from a European provider, and enterprises that need on premises deployment. It fits less well for buyers who want remote agents started from GitHub or Slack events, which are still rolling out or planned, or who need model choice in the hosted product beyond Mistral's own models.

Integrations
Mistral GitHub App for remote agents that clone, commit, push and open pull requests, an MCP client in the CLI for remote and local servers, and Mistral managed connectors. The work agent connects to Gmail, Google Calendar, Outlook, SharePoint, Box, Slack, Notion, Linear, Atlassian, GitHub and Stripe through OAuth, a directory of MCP connectors and admin added custom MCP servers. Editors connect through the VS Code extension and the Agent Client Protocol for JetBrains and Zed.
In practice
A developer asks the Vibe CLI to add rate limiting to an API. The agent sends an explore subagent through the codebase, edits files in accept edits mode, asks before running a migration command, and the developer then sends a follow up refactor to a remote agent that opens a pull request overnight.
A bank's platform team runs the open source CLI against a model hosted inside its own network, with telemetry and update checks off, so code never leaves its infrastructure.
An account manager has the work agent prepare for a client meeting each Monday through a scheduled task that reads recent emails, the shared client library and the CRM notes, then posts a briefing to Slack.

| Integrations & Tool Calling | Full |
|---|---|
|
In the cloud, coding agents work through the Mistral GitHub App with the user's token to clone repositories, branch, commit, push and open pull requests, and the CLI connects to remote MCP servers with OAuth, header or API key auth and to local stdio servers, alongside Mistral managed connectors. The work agent reaches Gmail, Google Calendar, Outlook, SharePoint, Box, Slack, Notion, Linear, Atlassian, GitHub and Stripe through OAuth, plus a directory of MCP connectors and custom MCP servers that admins add.

| Workflow Orchestration | Full |
|
The CLI hands parts of a task to subagents through a task tool, with a built in read only explore subagent and custom subagents a team defines, and the agent's plan can be edited before it runs. Remote agents run in parallel, each in its own isolated cloud sandbox, for up to 24 hours with a three hour idle timeout. The work agent carries multistep tasks through a todo panel, asks clarifying questions as it goes and can be stopped at any point. Sourcedocs.mistral.ai/vibe/code/cli/agents.mdread 2026-11-08 |
|
| Knowledge Grounding & RAG | Full |
|
Libraries hold the customer's documents as persistent knowledge bases with real time search and footnoted sources, up to 100 files per upload and 100 MB per file, stored in Mistral's European cloud, private by default and shareable with viewers or collaborators, and Team adds knowledge connectors. For code, the agent works from the project path, branch, recent commits, grep and AGENTS.md files on each run, with no persistent index of the codebase. Sourcedocs.mistral.ai/vibe/work/libraries.mdread 2026-11-08 |
|
| Human Oversight & Guardrails | Full |
|
The CLI runs in ask, accept edits (the default, which approves file edits on its own), smart approve or auto approve modes, with per tool always, ask or never rules, trusted folders, prompts before leaving the working directory or touching environment files, and hooks before and after tools that can block commands, and admins can forbid auto approve. Remote agents deliver pull requests for review under the repository's own branch protections, and the work agent asks Continue, Always allow or Decline before acting.

|
| Security, Identity & Governance | Full |
|
Enterprise signs in through SAML 2.0, and roles span organization roles for members, billing and admins and workspace roles such as Developer, Mistral Vibe Code User, Contributor, Admin and Observability Viewer. Managed configuration pushes allowed models, connector blocks and approval limits to the CLI and VS Code. Mistral states it complies with the SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 and 27701 frameworks, Enterprise is opted out of model training by default, and Team admins can turn training off for their organization.

|
| Observability & Auditability | Full |
|
Pro and Team keep run history, tool calls, code changes, logs and audit trails for remote agents, and each web session's activity stream serves as its audit log. The CLI writes local logs, exports a run to JSON and sends opt in OpenTelemetry traces with redaction, Enterprise audit logs record when conversations are created and deleted, and the Enterprise admin API reports usage analytics for coding agents.

|
| Memory & State Persistence | Full |
|
The work agent's Knowledge Base, in public preview, saves facts when asked and on its own, shows each read and write in the chat, and lets users list and edit entries and delete one, a topic or everything, export them from settings or turn the feature off, while admins can disable it for an organization and sensitive data stays off by default. Workspace chat retention can be set from 30 days to never, temporary chats skip memory, and CLI and VS Code sessions resume across both. Sourcedocs.mistral.ai/vibe/work/knowledge.mdread 2026-11-08 |
|
| Deployment & Data Residency | Full |
|
Data is hosted in the European Union by default, with a US endpoint available, and Enterprise deploys on premises, in a private cloud or on Mistral Cloud, including a self hosted option installed with Helm. The CLI runs on the developer's machine and can run fully offline against local models, contacting no Mistral server once telemetry and update checks are turned off. Sourcedocs.mistral.ai/vibe/code/cli/offline-models.mdread 2026-11-08 |
|
| Prebuilt Agents / Templates / Packs | Full |
|
The work agent ships twelve built in skills, among them deep research, data analysis, meeting prep and a skill creator, following the Agent Skills standard, and admins can switch on workspace skills for everyone. The CLI includes built in agents such as a lean mode and a plugin format, labeled experimental, with a built in Vibe plugin, and teams add their own skills and subagents alongside these. Sourcedocs.mistral.ai/vibe/work/skills.mdread 2026-11-08 |
|
| Triggers & Channel Coverage | Full |
|
Coding work starts from the CLI, interactively or headless with a prompt flag, from the VS Code extension, from JetBrains, Zed and other editors over the Agent Client Protocol, from the Code tab on the web, or by sending a CLI task to the cloud. The CLI's loop command runs cron schedules while Vibe is open and idle, and the work agent runs scheduled tasks once, daily, weekly, monthly or yearly, in public preview and up to five on Free. Starts from Slack and from GitHub events are still rolling out or planned. Sourcedocs.mistral.ai/vibe/work/scheduled-tasks.mdread 2026-11-08 |
|
| Model Flexibility & Routing | Partial |
|
In the CLI, developers pick the model with a command, bring their own API key or point Vibe at any OpenAI compatible local model, with Devstral Small 2 or Mistral Small 4 suggested for local use. Remote coding sessions and the work agent run on Mistral's own models, with Mistral Medium 3.5 as the default and only a fast or think toggle beyond it, and Enterprise can fine tune models through Mistral Forge. Sourcedocs.mistral.ai/vibe/code/cli/offline-models.mdread 2026-11-08 |
|
| APIs / SDKs / MCP Extensibility | Full |
|
Vibe runs as an Agent Client Protocol server listed in the ACP registry, so editors and other clients drive it programmatically, and the CLI runs headless with a prompt flag and JSON or streaming output for scripts and CI. An agent socket and a local run server are experimental, and Enterprise adds an admin API. Vibe has no MCP server of its own, and Mistral's API and agents SDK belong to its developer platform. Sourcegithub.com/mistralai/mistral-viberead 2026-11-08 |
|
| Testing, Debugging & Optimization | Partial |
|
Headless runs return exit codes and export a JSON record of what the agent did, so a team can score runs in its own pipeline, and remote agents hand back pull requests that the repository's own checks and reviewers test. Vibe itself has no evaluation harness or scored test set for its agents, and Mistral's evaluation tools sit in its developer platform in public preview. Sourcegithub.com/mistralai/mistral-viberead 2026-11-08 |
|
| Browser / Computer-use | Partial |
|
The work agent searches the web and opens URLs to read pages, and remote coding sandboxes have outbound internet access, but no Vibe agent drives a browser, a desktop or another computer through its interface. Web content reaches the agent as fetched text, and coding agents work through the shell, files and Git in the terminal or in their cloud sandbox.

Pricing
Free with limited messages and coding sessions, or Pro at $14.99 a month with higher limits, remote coding agents and $25.50 of API credits.
Monthly plans per user with fair usage limits, plus pay as you go credits at API rates once limits are reached on paid plans.
Included quota
Pro includes six times the free messages, five times the web searches, 15 GB of libraries, unlimited scheduling under fair use, 100 remote coding sessions a day and $25.50 of API credits a month; Team raises limits and storage to 30 GB a user.
What is public
Free, Pro, Education and Team prices, included API credits and the main usage multipliers, with Enterprise by contact.
Billing mechanics
Per user monthly plans with fair usage limits and included API credits, plus pay as you go credits at API rates.
Cost watchouts
Heavy coding use beyond fair usage limits moves to API rate credits, regional inference costs 10% more, and student pricing lasts at most 12 months for new users.
Variable cost rationale
Plans are flat monthly prices under fair usage limits, and extra usage only bills when a customer turns to pay as you go credits at API rates. The open source CLI can also run on the customer's own keys or local models at no Mistral charge.
Additional watchouts
No annual prices are shown, and several feature lines on the pricing page are older than the docs.
Overage / add-ons
Paid plans can continue past their limits on pay as you go credits billed at API rates; regional inference endpoints carry a 1.1 times price.
Sales call required
Mixed (some tiers require a call)
Free / trial
The free plan includes limited messages, web searches and coding sessions, CLI and IDE access, connectors and up to five scheduled tasks.
Lowest paid plan
Pro at $14.99 a month
Commercial notes
Mistral AI of Paris sells Vibe directly as one license across work and code, the product formerly called Le Chat.
Key ambiguities
The pricing page still describes a JetBrains plugin powered by Devstral and teleport back to the CLI, which the docs describe differently, and help content offers single sign on to Team while pricing keeps it to Enterprise.
Cancellation / refund
Monthly plans; Enterprise by contract under Mistral's commercial terms.
Support SLA / resale
Pro and Team add chat and email support, Team adds domain verification, knowledge connectors and data export, and Enterprise adds SAML single sign on, audit logs, an admin API, custom deployment and white labeling.
Missing data
Enterprise pricing and the exact fair usage limits.
