Mistral Vibe changelog: what's new each month

Every stable Mistral Vibe release summarised by month: the highlights, new features, improvements, fixes and anything you need to act on. 3 months covered; the current month updates daily.

October 2026 · so far

1 release: 2.26.0

October brought significant enhancements to Mistral Vibe's plugin system, improved image handling, and substantial Rust CLI improvements including onboarding, voice control, and session teleporting.

Highlights

  • Rust CLI now includes a first-run setup wizard with theme selection and secure API key storage in the OS keyring.
  • Sessions can be teleported from Rust CLI to Vibe Code Web with push approval via /teleport command.
  • Background processes in Vibe Code sessions now display in a side panel with live status and stop controls.
  • Vibe Code warns when your selected model cannot view attached images.
  • The Rust CLI supports voice mode configuration and natural language scheduling of recurring prompts.

New

  • Rust CLI first-run onboarding wizard with theme selection and browser sign-in.
  • Teleport sessions from Rust CLI to Vibe Code Web with /teleport command and push approval.
  • Voice mode configuration in Rust CLI with /voice command.
  • Schedule recurring prompts in natural language using /loop command with model-managed cron tools.
  • App-server can discover built-in plugins from roots that an embedding application ships.

Improved

  • API key fallback file (~/.vibe/.env) is now created with owner-only permissions (0600) for better security.
  • Sessions list background processes in a dedicated side panel with live status indicators.

Fixed

  • Vibe Code now warns when the selected model cannot view attached images to prevent silent failures.

September 2026

8 releases: 2.25.0 → 2.25.8

September brought major improvements to session management, connector integration, and the experimental unified harness, alongside better control over background processes and tool execution. Desktop and IDE experiences were significantly enhanced with new status indicators and permission handling.

Action needed
  • SessionBackendKind literals renamed from "python"/"rust" to "legacy"/"unified" to match backend identity naming.

Highlights

  • New /branch command lets you fork conversations into separate resumable sessions.
  • Skills browser with search and filter for managing session-scoped skills, plus ability to toggle skills on and off without removal.
  • Smart-approve now escalates risky actions to confirmation prompts instead of blocking them, with transparent reasoning shown to users.
  • Connectors for Notion, Linear, Slack, GitHub, Gmail, Google Calendar, and Drive now available in the code editor.
  • MCP servers declared by plugins now start automatically and are callable within sessions.

New

  • Skills browser for session skills with search, filter, and shared skills syncing on session start (experimental, off by default).
  • Plugin-declared MCP servers in /mcp with per-plugin tagging and login authentication.
  • /branch command to fork the current conversation into a new resumable session.
  • Built-in worktree plugin with skills for creating, reusing, and cleaning up git worktrees.
  • Background process tools (process.start, process.stop, process.output, process.list, process.write) with improved visualization.
  • Subagent conversation history readable through the owning parent session, with configurable live status and read-only transcript switching.
  • Session todos tracked and shown as a pinned line under input, with /todo command for full view.
  • Per-session scratchpad in experimental-harness sessions with notes restated to the agent.

Improved

  • Tool call groups now fold into compact summary lines by default, expandable on click, with Ctrl+O to toggle all.
  • @ file mentions now use Git-aware discovery and accept standalone pasted files and folders.
  • Session-scoped model pinning for resumed conversations.
  • Desktop keeps 15 recent managed Code worktrees by default, with configurable cleanup that skips active or dirty worktrees.
  • Browser SSO now completes behind split-horizon reverse proxies with opt-in URL rewriting.
  • Smart-approve shows approval reason as a note rather than a warning for auto-approved calls.
  • Session titles on custom Mistral endpoints now use the active model.
  • File completions in Rust CLI now respect caret position and allow directory descent.

Fixed

  • Invalid API key errors now show where the key came from, revealing shadowed environment variables or keyring conflicts.
  • Single invalid connector no longer prevents the rest of your connectors from loading; individual tools with oversized schemas are dropped independently.
  • Sessions no longer drop from the picker when touched while paging through the list.
  • On Windows, opening a session already open in another process now reports a clear error instead of a raw permission error.
  • On Windows, idle-session cleanup no longer mistakes sessions held by other processes for idle ones.
  • Configuration warnings now properly report when managed configuration contains removed Vibe Code settings.

August 2026

7 releases: 2.23.3 → 2.24.5

August brought significant improvements to session management, configuration handling, and performance across Mistral Vibe. The month focused on smoother workflows, better model routing, and faster startup times.

Action needed
  • Default agent renamed from "ask" and now defaults to accept-edits mode.

Highlights

  • Admin config layer lets teams enforce shared configuration over user settings.
  • Session picker now shows live preview in-app for easier navigation.
  • New /retry command and improved retry handling with adaptive backoff and connection pooling.
  • Faster startup: TUI renders before session initialization and imports are deferred.
  • Slash commands and setting pickers work while the agent is running.

New

  • /retry command to retry an interrupted response.
  • Admin config layer for shared and enforced configuration.
  • "Default" unpinned model option to track recommended models without pinning specific aliases.
  • Inline ghost-text completion for mid-prompt skills.
  • /clear and /new commands accept optional first prompt and show resume ID.
  • In-app session picker with live preview.
  • /log-level command for runtime log-level control.
  • LLM-generated session titles and terminal title.

Improved

  • /rewind now lets you choose between forking and rewinding in place.
  • LLM retries surfaced in UI, logs, and ACP/VS Code conversations.
  • /status shows provider prompt-cache usage and discounts cached tokens from session cost.
  • User and project config layers compose with trusted project config overlaying user config.
  • Local sessions start in the selected worktree.
  • Faster session resume by deferring sub-agent instantiation and reusing model connections.
  • Edit and read tool headers show paths relative to current directory.
  • Models displayed by name instead of raw config alias.

Fixed

  • Refused config change no longer wipes the picker.
  • Connector bootstrap failures now surfaced instead of reporting no connectors.
  • Links normalized before opening to prevent broken clicks.
  • Themes apply correctly at startup.
  • Loading nix-managed skills through symlinked SKILL.md no longer freezes.
  • Python dependencies updated to clear known security advisories.
