While AI-powered coding assistants have evolved rapidly, many enterprises remain cautious. Core issues like deployment restrictions, limited customization, fragmented toolsets, and poor integration with existing toolchains present significant hurdles. For organizations handling sensitive data or operating in regulated sectors, not being able to self-host or monitor these tools is a dealbreaker—impacting both trust and productivity.
The Mistral Coding Stack: A Full-Stack Approach
Mistral AI’s Coding Stack introduces an integrated ecosystem that addresses these enterprise pain points. Rather than offering a patchwork of disconnected tools, it streamlines every stage of software development. From intelligent code completion to automated, multi-file workflows, this unified stack ensures organizations can leverage AI while maintaining control, security, and flexibility.
Codestral 25.08: Fast, Reliable Code Generation
At the heart of the stack is Codestral 25.08. This advanced code generation model delivers:
- 30% more accepted code completions
- 10% higher retention of suggestions
- 50% fewer runaway generations
- Improved results on industry benchmarks
Whether deployed in the cloud, on a private VPC, or fully on-premises, Codestral supports a broad range of languages and scenarios. Enhanced chat features enable better instruction following, making it highly adaptable within diverse enterprise environments.
Codestral Embed: Advanced Semantic Search
Codestral Embed offers powerful, code-specific semantic search and retrieval. Its features include:
- High-recall, low-latency search across vast codebases
- Configurable output for optimal efficiency and quality
- Private, self-hosted deployment for maximum data security
This embedding is the backbone of natural language code searches within IDEs and supports deeper context for agent-driven coding tasks.
Devstral: Smarter, Autonomous Coding Agents
Built on the OpenHands framework, Devstral automates complex engineering tasks such as cross-file refactoring, test generation, and pull request creation. It outperforms leading alternatives on SWE-Bench, and is available in configurations suitable for both air-gapped and enterprise environments. Teams can fine-tune, extend, and directly integrate Devstral within existing CI/CD pipelines, ensuring no vendor lock-in.
IDE Integration & Operational Control
Mistral Code brings all these capabilities directly to JetBrains and VS Code environments. Developers benefit from:
- Inline and multi-line code completions via Codestral
- One-click automations, such as generating commits or adding docstrings
- Context awareness using Git diffs and terminal history
- Integrated semantic search powered by Codestral Embed
The plugin supports all deployment models and features robust security, including SSO, audit logging, and comprehensive observability through the Mistral Console.
Enterprise Impact & Proven Results
The Mistral Coding Stack doesn’t just enhance developer productivity—it enables organizations to safeguard data sovereignty, compliance, and security. Centralized observability, seamless context sharing, and unified architecture help accelerate software delivery while maintaining enterprise-grade governance.
Industry Adoption
Industry leaders such as Capgemini, Abanca, and SNCF rely on the Mistral Coding Stack for secure, compliant, and rapid software development. Its extensibility and privacy-centric design make it a top choice for enterprises with complex needs that standard AI copilots can’t meet.
Getting Started
Enterprises can deploy the Mistral Coding Stack, including Codestral 25.08, Devstral, Codestral Embed, and the IDE extension in their preferred environments. Organizations can start with basic autocomplete and search, advancing to agentic automation and private hosting as their requirements grow. Mistral AI provides onboarding and ongoing support to ensure a smooth rollout.
To begin:
- Install Mistral Code from the JetBrains or VS Code marketplace
- Connect to your preferred deployment modality (cloud, VPC, or on-prem)
If you would like to use the models for your own copilot, get your keys at console.mistral.ai. For more information on Mistral’s coding solutions, please visit our website and documentation.
Takeaway
Codestral 25.08 and the Mistral Coding Stack represent a major leap for enterprise software development. By removing barriers around control, security, and integration, Mistral AI empowers teams to code, review, and ship software faster—without compromise.
