It seems fairly plausible that they will become useful. I would not consider coding requiring vastly better AI models than the best we have today. The more interesting question is what advantages excess intelligence provides in the future more generally (warfare, system management, etc)

> fairly plausible

Based on what? is that a feeling or based on evidence?

The trajectory all models are taking, while software development requirements continue to stay fairly level – at least I don't see why they wouldn't. We will still mostly need reliable, boring software.

I don't see why Mistral would stop getting better. It will, just more slowly. Eventually it will be good enough, and continue to be good enough.
