Codestral Mamba - Mistral AI vs ChatGPT Plugins

Discover the cutting-edge Codestral Mamba, Mistral AI's innovation in code generation AI. Codestral Mamba, named in homage to Cleopatra, is a specialized Mamba2 language model designed for coding tasks. Open-source and free for everyone, it’s distributed under the Apache 2.0 license, inviting you to join the frontier of architecture research. With its linear time inference and capability to handle sequences of theoretically infinite length, it’s built to enhance your code productivity.

Unlike traditional Transformer models that may struggle with longer sequences, Codestral Mamba shines, offering quick responses regardless of input size. Created with code and reasoning in mind, it matches state-of-the-art models in performance, making it an excellent local assistant for coding projects. You can test drive Codestral Mamba or its sibling, Codestral 22B, on la Plateforme, a flexible environment that supports extensive in-context learning up to 256k tokens.

OpenAI follows an iterative deployment philosophy, and as part of this approach, it is gradually releasing plugins for ChatGPT. The purpose of this gradual release is to study the real-world use of the plugins, assess their impact, and identify any safety and alignment challenges that may arise. Getting these aspects right is essential for OpenAI to achieve its mission.

Since the launch of ChatGPT, users have expressed interest in having access to plugins, and many developers are experimenting with similar ideas. OpenAI is initially rolling out plugins to a small set of users and plans to gradually increase access as it learns more. After an alpha period, API users who want to integrate plugins into their products will also have access. OpenAI is excited to build a community that will help shape the future of the human-AI interaction paradigm.

Developers who have been invited off the waitlist can use OpenAI's documentation to build a plugin for ChatGPT. Once the plugin is created, it is listed in the prompt shown to the language model, along with documentation that instructs the model on how to use each one. The first set of plugins has been created by Expedia, FiscalNote, Instacart, KAYAK, Klarna, Milo, OpenTable, Shopify, Slack, Speak, Wolfram, and Zapier.
