Your reason can't be cost because there are superior models that are cheaper than Mistral models, for coding. So i re-ask the question

Nope. This is not my experience.

Public pricing in token/$ is only part of the equation.

Mistral tooling to consume significantly less tokens-per-given-task than the Anthropic ones.

My bills currently reflects that.

I think other commenter is talking about smaller/cheaper models like Qwen that outperform mistral on just about every metric

I played with Qwen few months ago, I do prefer Mistral vibe for everyday usage (significantly faster if not self hosted).
