Mistral Code Just Showed Up

Like a Sub Who Doesn’t Miss a Beat

If you’ve ever had a sub who didn’t just wait for instructions — but walked the job, read the plan, and started solving problems before you asked — that’s what Mistral just dropped for coding.

It’s their new open-source AI model for writing code — and it doesn’t just handle scripts.
This thing speaks over 80 programming languages, works fast, and can be trained to fit your exact systems.

Why should restoration pros care?

Because what Mistral just did is the blueprint for where our tools are headed:

  • Imagine a project assistant that reads your full folder — scope notes, moisture logs, estimate history — and writes updates automatically

  • Imagine that tool being open, modifiable, and trained on your jobs, not just public data

  • Imagine not paying a monthly fee to access it — because it runs on your own system

This is like bringing on a subcontractor who doesn’t just swing a hammer — they walk the job, find the gaps, and close the loop without hand-holding.

We’re still early, but this is a sign.

Restoration is next.
Your folders. Your tools. Your context.
Handled by agents that actually know the work.

Worth watching.
