What we know about mistral-vibe
Mistral Vibe sets its risk level by picking one of four named agent profiles — ask, plan, accept-edits and auto-approve — rather than by editing a permission table, and accept-edits, which auto-approves edits but not shell commands, is the shipped default.
“- **`ask`**: Requires approval for tool executions. · - **`plan`**: Read-only agent for exploration and planning. Auto-approves safe tools like `grep` and `read`. · - **`accept-edits`**: The default agent. Auto-approves file edits only (`write_file`, `edit`). Useful for code refactoring. · - **`a…”
Refactor with edits applied but shell commands still gated: that is the shipped default, the `accept-edits` agent.
“- **`accept-edits`**: The default agent. Auto-approves file edits only (`write_file`, `edit`). Useful for code refactoring.”
Run two agent sessions on one repository at once: `--worktree` claims a fresh git worktree per session on a `vibe/<name>` branch, so the checkouts cannot collide.
“Unlike the named form, this never reuses an existing worktree: Vibe claims a free name, adding `-2`, `-3` and so on if needed, so two sessions started at once can never land in the same checkout. The branch is always `vibe/<name>`, matching the worktrees Le Chat Desktop creates.”
Hand the agent a screenshot: `.png`, `.jpg`, `.jpeg`, `.gif` and `.webp` attach through `@` mentions as native multimodal content.
“- Image attachments via `@` mentions — `.png`, `.jpg`, `.jpeg`, `.gif`, `.webp` files are sent to vision-capable models (e.g. Mistral Medium 3.5) as native multimodal content.”
Windows is not a supported target, only a working one; Mistral tests and aims at UNIX.
“> [!WARNING] · > Mistral Vibe works on Windows, but we officially support and target UNIX environments.”
There is no bring-your-own-provider path in the default setup: Vibe asks for a Mistral API key from console.mistral.ai and stores it in `~/.vibe/.env`.
“To use Vibe, you'll need a Mistral API key. You can obtain one by signing up at [https://console.mistral.ai](https://console.mistral.ai).”
Interrupting the agent can break the turn: after an interrupt Vibe emits two user messages in a row, which the Devstral 2 template rejects, and the issue is open with 16 comments.
“bug: Mistral-Vibe produces multiple user messages in a row after interrupts, which the Devstral 2 template does not allow”
A Windows-first team should pick Crush, whose built-in Bash interpreter makes the same config run on Windows as on Linux.
“Because Crush has a native, built-in Bash interpreter, Bash-based config works identically across all platforms, including Windows.”
What mistral-vibe costs
Mistral's Free plan includes Vibe with limited coding sessions and $10 a month of API credits.
“Limited coding sessions. · State-of-the-art image generation. · Test Mistral models in Studio. · $10 /mo in API credits.”
The Pro plan is $14.99 a month, lifts the cap to all-day coding in the CLI, and carries $30 a month of API credits; Team is $24.99 per user per month.
“All-day coding in the CLI, IDE, or on web. · More image generations. · $30 /mo in API credits.”
What we know about Warp
Warp replaces the terminal itself rather than running inside one, and ships that client as open source — AGPL v3, with the `warpui_core` and `warpui` crates under MIT.
“Warp's UI framework (the `warpui_core` and `warpui` crates) are licensed under the [MIT license](LICENSE-MIT). · The rest of the code in this repository is licensed under the [AGPL v3](LICENSE-AGPL).”
Keep the CLI agent you already use and change only the terminal: Warp runs Claude Code, Codex and Gemini CLI beside its own agent.
“[Warp](https://www.warp.dev) is an agentic development environment, born out of the terminal. Use Warp's built-in coding agent, or bring your own CLI agent (Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, and others).”
Budget one developer's agent spend to a flat $20 a month: the Build plan includes 1,500 credits, which Warp prices at $20 of agent usage at API rates.
“1,500 credits ($20 of included agent usage at API rates)”
Roll out to a team of up to 25 with SAML single sign-on and admin data controls, at $50 per user per month.
“For teams scaling AI-powered development (up to 25 seats)”
On the free plan you cannot switch telemetry off and keep the AI; only paid plans can opt out and still use it.
“Telemetry must be enabled to use AI features on the Free plan, while paid plans can opt out at any time and continue using Warp, including AI.”
Warp still will not talk to a local model: the request to support Ollama has been open since 2024-02-26 and carries 1,427 reactions, the most of any issue across these twelve tools.
“Make Warp work with Local Language Models (like Ollama models)”
It is heavy for a terminal you leave open: the memory-usage issue has been open since 2023-02-05 with 126 comments.
“High Memory Usage”
A developer who wants a small binary and a local model should pick Crush or goose; Warp is a full desktop terminal with a cloud account behind it.
“A native desktop app for macOS, Linux, and Windows. A full CLI for terminal workflows. An API to embed it anywhere. Built in Rust for performance and portability.”
What Warp costs
Warp is $0 on Free, $20 per month on Build, $200 per month on Max and $50 per user per month on Business; annual billing takes Build to $18 and Max to $180.
“Start free and scale as your team grows. Simple, transparent pricing with no surprises.”
The Max plan includes 18,000 credits, 12 times the usage included with Build.
“18,000 credits (12× the included usage of Build)”

- What do mistral-vibe and Warp cost?
- mistral-vibe: Mistral's Free plan includes Vibe with limited coding sessions and $10 a month of API credits. The Pro plan is $14.99 a month, lifts the cap to all-day coding in the CLI, and carries $30 a month of API credits; Team is $24.99 per user per month. Warp: Warp is $0 on Free, $20 per month on Build, $200 per month on Max and $50 per user per month on Business; annual billing takes Build to $18 and Max to $180. The Max plan includes 18,000 credits, 12 times the usage included with Build. Every figure here is quoted from the vendor's own page and linked beside the claim.
- Is mistral-vibe or Warp open source?
- mistral-vibe's repository mistralai/mistral-vibe reports the Apache-2.0 licence. Warp's repository warpdotdev/warp reports the AGPL-3.0 licence. We read the licence GitHub reports for the repository, which is not the same question as whether the hosted product is free.
How we check this page
- Machine facts. Stars, contributors, the newest commit on the default branch, the licence GitHub reports and the latest stable release come from the GitHub API, and download counts from npm, PyPI, Homebrew and the VS Code Marketplace. Each value carries the day it was last confirmed, never the day this page was built. The line under each label is arithmetic on those two values.
- Judgments. Every claim about what a tool suits, what it is bad at and what it costs is quoted from a page we read, and that page is linked beside the claim. Where there is no link, we wrote no claim.
- Index status. Both mistral-vibe and Warp carry claims we read, quoted and linked. So this page is offered to search engines.
