Mistral AI's May 2026 Vibe release brings long-running work and coding into one assistant, carrying over Le Chat conversations, settings, and plans. Work Mode proposes a plan for approval before using connected tools. Code Mode runs remote coding sessions in isolated environments where users can inspect changes and manage sensitive actions; sessions can continue while the user's computer is off. The announcement extends the product beyond the terminal workflow introduced in the earlier Vibe CLI release, making ongoing tasks accessible through a web interface.
