Mistral AI Releases Devstral: Apache 2.0 Agentic Coding Model with SWE-Bench SOTA

Mistral AI, in collaboration with All Hands AI, releases Devstral, an agentic LLM specialized for software engineering tasks under the Apache 2.0 license. The model achieves 46.8% on SWE-Bench Verified, surpassing prior open-source state-of-the-art by over 6 percentage points and outperforming larger models like DeepSeek-V3-0324 (671B) and Qwen3 232B-A22B under the same OpenHands scaffold. Devstral is small enough to run on a single RTX 4090 or a Mac with 32GB RAM, and is available via Mistral's API at $0.1/M input tokens, as well as on HuggingFace, Ollama, and other platforms. Mistral indicates a larger agentic coding model is in development.
