    Devstral 2

    Mistral AI

    Devstral 2 is a next-generation, open source agentic AI model tailored for software engineering: it doesn’t just suggest code snippets, it understands and acts across entire codebases, enabling multi-file edits, bug fixes, refactoring, dependency resolution, and context-aware code generation. The Devstral 2 family includes a large 123-billion-parameter model as well as a smaller 24-billion-parameter variant (“Devstral Small 2”), giving teams flexibility; the larger model excels in heavy-duty coding tasks requiring deep context, while the smaller one can run on more modest hardware. With a vast context window of up to 256 K tokens, Devstral 2 can reason across extensive repositories, track project history, and maintain a consistent understanding of lengthy files, an advantage for complex, real-world projects. The CLI tracks project metadata, Git statuses, and directory structure to give the model context, making “vibe-coding” more powerful.

    DeepSWE

    Agentica Project

    DeepSWE is a fully open source, state-of-the-art coding agent built on top of the Qwen3-32B foundation model and trained exclusively via reinforcement learning (RL), without supervised finetuning or distillation from proprietary models. It is developed using rLLM, Agentica’s open source RL framework for language agents. DeepSWE operates as an agent; it interacts with a simulated development environment (via the R2E-Gym environment) using a suite of tools (file editor, search, shell-execution, submit/finish), enabling it to navigate codebases, edit multiple files, compile/run tests, and iteratively produce patches or complete engineering tasks. DeepSWE exhibits emergent behaviors beyond simple code generation; when presented with bugs or feature requests, the agent reasons about edge cases, seeks existing tests in the repository, proposes patches, writes extra tests for regressions, and dynamically adjusts its “thinking” effort.
