Codestral Embed

Closed weights Mistral AI May 2025

No estimate

No hardware requirements for this model

The weights for this model have not been published, so it cannot be downloaded or run on your own hardware at any size. It is reachable only through its provider, and no graphics card changes that.

What the numbers mean

Where it came from

Codestral Embed was published by Mistral AI, in France, in May 2025. It comes out of industry.

It works in Language, and is recorded as doing code generation, Code autocompletion, Retrieval-augmented generation.

This is a closed model: the trained values stayed with whoever produced them, and there is no local version to run.

Answers
