Yeah I use Mistral Large for a lot of formatting work. For this one use case of mine, it outperforms frontier models by a significant margin. I've found tons of use cases for mistral small as well.

I'd love to use Mistral for more tasks, but Mistral Large doesn't quite cut it for all tasks. So on the one hand, I'm excited there is another model, and presumably more performant based on the price? But the fact it's a "Medium" and 5x the price of the Large definitely concerns me.

The entire release is also about Vibe Coding, and so I'm not even sure if this model is applicable outside of coding, or even worth testing.
