Mistral Vibe
Formerly Le Chat; now work, chat and coding
by Mistral AI
Overview
Mistral Vibe is Mistral's unified assistant, renamed from Le Chat in May 2026 and keeping the conversations, settings and plans of the old product. It works in modes rather than as one thing: Work for tasks, Code for CLI, IDE and remote coding jobs, and Chat, which is the former Le Chat, with text, voice, PDF, image, CSV and Office files as input and research, documents and presentations, image generation, connectors and code tasks in the published scope.
Capability and model availability vary by mode and plan, so the open-weight model family is not a promise that every mode runs the same thing. The official plan page caps the free tier only as limited messages, limited web searches and limited coding sessions without giving a number, sets document libraries at 15GB on Pro and 30GB per user on Team, and gives one dated daily example - 150 Flash answers a day on Pro against 200 on Team.
Code work is reachable through the CLI, VS Code, or JetBrains and Zed over ACP, as well as remote tasks. Mistral documents exporting the personal Vibe data stored on its servers, which is account data rather than a promise that a generated deck arrives as an editable file.
Pro is $14.99 a month before tax and Team $24.99 per user a month before tax, both monthly or annual with 20% off annual, and data conditions are separate choices: cloud accounts can opt out of training in settings, Team admins control it for the organisation, Enterprise is opted out by default, and zero data retention is not available for Vibe Work or Chat because sessions and state are stored - ZDR applies to approved stateless API use.
Editor's take
A reasonable pick when you want one assistant for chat, documents and coding and you are willing to check which mode and plan a capability belongs to. The privacy story is account-level rather than a property of the model: cloud accounts opt out of training in settings, zero data retention is limited to approved API use, and private deployment is an Enterprise option rather than something open weights grant you. On price, Pro and Team bill monthly or annually with a stated 20% annual discount, and the exact annual total is settled at checkout.

- ✕Training opt-out is a per-account setting - admin-controlled on Team, default on Enterprise - rather than automatic

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this still Le Chat?
It is the same product renamed: Mistral announced in May 2026 that Le Chat became Vibe, keeping conversations, settings and plans. This site keeps the old address as a stable link and lists the old name for searching.
What does it cost?
Pro is $14.99 a month before tax and Team $24.99 per user a month before tax, both monthly or annual, with Mistral stating a 20% discount for annual billing; the exact annual total is settled at checkout. There is a free tier with limits, and Enterprise is quoted.
Can I self-host it?
On-premises, private cloud or Mistral Cloud deployment of Vibe is an Enterprise option. Mistral's model family includes open weights, but a normal cloud Vibe account does not inherit self-hosting from that.
Is my data used for training, and is there zero retention?
On cloud accounts training use is opt-out in settings, and Team admins control it for the organisation while Enterprise is opted out by default. Zero data retention is not available for Vibe Work or Chat, because sessions and state are stored; ZDR applies to approved stateless API use, and the CLI follows its API configuration.
How is Mistral Vibe different from ChatGPT?
Both are assistants sold on a monthly subscription with a free tier and an API billed separately. What these two listings establish: Vibe Pro is $14.99 a month before tax and Team $24.99 per user, monthly or annual with a 20% annual discount settled at checkout, against ChatGPT Plus at $20 a month billed monthly, with ChatGPT plan names and prices varying by region. Vibe is split into Work, Code and Chat modes and lists text, voice, PDF, image, CSV and Office files as input, alongside research, documents and presentations, image generation, connectors and code tasks; ChatGPT counts voice, image generation and file analysis in one subscription next to its file and browsing features. On data the conditions differ: a Vibe cloud account opts out of training in settings, Team admins control it for the organisation and Enterprise is opted out by default, while zero data retention is not available for Vibe Work or Chat because sessions and state are stored - ZDR applies to approved stateless API use - and ChatGPT states that consumer content may be used for training with an opt-out, that temporary chats are not used for training, and that Business, Enterprise, Edu and API inputs and outputs are not used by default. Self-hosting Vibe is an Enterprise option, and the open-weight model family does not give a normal cloud account that. Compare the mode and the plan you are buying.
