Mistral debuts Codestral Mamba for faster, long-context code generation
Mistral AI just launched Codestral Mamba, a code-focused model built with Albert Gu and Tri Dao that swaps Transformers for the Mamba architecture. It delivers linear-time inference and handles tested in-context retrieval up to 256k tokens without slowdowns. Even better, Mistral open-sourced it under Apache 2.0 for free local deployment.
