So I tested the bigger model with my typical standard test queries which are not so tough, not so easy. They are also some that you wouldn't find extensive training data for. Finally, I already have used them to get answers from gpt-5.1, sonnet 4.5 and gemini 3 ....

Here is what I think about the bigger model: It sits between sonnet 4 and sonnet 4.5. Something like "sonnet 4.3". The response sped was pretty good.

Overall, I can see myself shifting to this for reguar day-to-day coding if they can offer this for copetitive pricing.

I'll still use sonnet 4.5 or gemini 3 for complex queries, but, for everything else code related, this seems to be pretty good.

Congrats Mistral. You most probably have caught up to the big guys. Not there yet exactly, but, not far now.
